Highlights of Meeting Minutes:
Only a couple of
people are playing – excluding my husband and I, so I don’t know anything
that is going on. This coming month is my last month as DC and I am joining
many of the members here as a paper member until and unless I hear the Club
becomes fun again.
Stephanie has all the
logs she will need if she chooses to run for DC (if there is a Domain in
September, that is). Otherwise, there’s nothing more to report except that
the audit will not be completed until then.

For the month of August there will be a Back to School drive. At each game site
fee will be accepted through the regular cash or through school supplies as
donations.
Site locations: We need everyone’s assistance on finding in door sites.
Jennifer is the contact person on this area but she needs your help. We cannot
keep renting site area and expect to run games like Tinhare. There will not be
money for it.
Hexacon:
Date of event: 07/30-31, 2004
Location: Tempe Mission Palms, Tempe AZ
Type of Event: Recruitment Drive
Camarilla Members in Attendance:
This was our annual recruitment drive
for Hexacon in
Vampire the Masquerade
Changeling the Dreaming
Vampire by Gaslight
Special Note: For the past 4 years we
have attended Hexacon and held these recruitment drive games. Each year we have
a special attendee. We all know him as 'little Shawn". 'Little Shawn'
turns 17 this year, and will be 18 six weeks before ICC 2005 next year. He has
been given more and more complex characters to play at each of our games and
has never let us down in his portrayals. This year, we asked him to play our
megalomaniac Toreador Prince for the Vampire the Masquerade Game on Friday
night. He did not let us down. "Little Shawn" is important to our
gaming staff, because he has shown us that the limitations of this game extend
only as far as your imagination can take you. "Little Shawn" is
quadriplegic, and plays his characters from a mechanized wheelchair. Never ONCE
while he was playing his characters or interacted with the scenes have you felt
that he was playing anything other than the character he has been given. He is
a true inspiration and I am honored to say that I know him.
We are each limited only by our own imagination.

Last Domain Meeting: 07/15/2004
Next Domain Meeting: 08/19/2004
Highlights of Meeting Minutes: Discussed the workings of the Domain and announced the
Election results of the newest VST of the Domain, Jo Abbott. Jo was elected as
Mortal VST and conformed as of that date. Topics of discussion also included
the upcoming Tithe of Souls Participation in a local Gaming Convention,
Hexacon. I do not believe that we attended any of those games, though it was
briefed to the members.
Current Projects:
- With the loss of a
RC at this time, the election process will be starting
soon… I will be forwarding a list of the candidates to my Domain list and
ask each member to prioritize their choices in a private email to me. I
will base my votes on the wishes of my Domain, that in my opinion is the
only way to vote.

Highlights of Meeting Minutes: Held
a storyteller meeting to explain the Garou and Mage VST situation. Both the
Garou and Mage storytellers are up for election (Garou due to his term being
up, Mage because she didn’t take the Membership and Storyteller Ordeals). Also
explained some of the events at the Sabbat game and some of the current Year of
Fire stuff going on. We then went on to hold the chapter meeting, in which we
explained that several members would be transferring, made everyone aware of
some of the new members that joined our chapter, and held an open forum for
chapter issues. Elections were an important topic, both for the Garou and Mage
VST slots and the CC slot. People really want to hold the CC election so it’s
official. The topic of forming a domain came up, and it was explained that the
fact that we held a chapter meeting / social meant we only needed to hold a
charity event in order to get our domain application ready. As such we are
currently planning a canned food drive – there will be more details on that in
the next report, but everyone agrees that this is probably a good idea, especially
considering the state of the local food banks in

Highlights of Meeting Minutes: 1.
Domain application was discussed. It was sent in
mid-April and the membership was concerned with the length of time it is taking
to get any answers.
2. A new chapter charity was agreed upon. We are going to be
supporting the regional pet food drive. We have adopted Sun City K-9 Adoptions,
a local no-kill adoption agency for dogs. We can donate food, supplies,
as well as time for these animals. It’s a smaller program that recieves
less state funding but operates with more love and compassion. We are
looking forward to becoming more aquainted with the group.
3. VST Chris Knepper has decided to change our game days from 2nd and 4th
fridays over to 3rd and 4th fridays.
4. I reminded the members that I NEED them to e-mail me what they should
earn for prestige for the month by, at least, 3 days before the months end so I
have time to enter it into the report.
5. Lindsey Jacobo has also set up a charity with the Aquarium of the
Pacific. We are collecting money to donate to "adopt" a sea
creature. Proceeds from our donation go helping the enviromental efforts
of the AotP.
