II. Summary of the Month:

Greetings SOUTH WEST!!!

I'm happy to say that outside a few bumps and bruises the South West seems to be going strong, we've been getting stronger and more constructive, growing in membership as well as in new chapters, venues and domains... all in all doing well for ourselves. I look forward to an incredible next few months as we ramp up to host the "Most Electrifying Event in White Wolf Entertainment." I'm really hoping that each and every one of you can come to this fantastic event and that we blow the doors on this ICC in Phoenix. To gear up for this, there will be a lot of changes, developments and projects to get you the member more involved with the Club, and also finding ways for the club to get more involved with you.

We are looking for your thoughts, ideas, and interests, what you would want to see, and how we can make and prove that the South West is your region, that we want you to be able to be proud of it and your fellow membership.

Keep an eye out, or even pipe up with your suggestions, we are here to help you, and look forward to the months ahead.

Kindest regards,

Christopher Williams

SOUTH WEST Regional Coordinator

The South West - Home of the Loud & Proud!!

III. Questions/Problems from the RC & Staff:

Questions to National from the RC:
	None.
Administration Office
	None.
Arbitration Office
	None at this time.
Charities Office
	There seems to be a lack of communication when charity drives are put on hold, and our Coordinator doesn't bother to give me any information as to why, unless I need to make my own conclusions. Also the continuing backlog of Charity prestige. Why have the current charity drives been put on hold?  Since the charity drives are on hold, and staff changes will be happening, (according to the February report), am I being replaced as RPM Charities? FROM THE RC: Charities have been put on hold because there needs to be a write up of what charities are currently being supported by the Region, how one participates, what qualifies as participation, how future charities can be added removed and changed. Replacement isn’t necessary but a Department – Standards and Procedures document is for future usage.
Communications Office
	None.
Events Office
	No problems or questions at this time
Member Review Office
	None.
Outreach Office
	None.
Reports Office
	Still confused over the April report. I was told that several problems existed with it and then I was told that all of the problems were already fixed.
Technology Office
	None at this time
