Questions/Problems from the RC & Staff:
Sent straight up from CA-037D Report:
Questions
to National from the RC: 2. Can the Domain accept
donations for "alcoholic" beverages during a game of event (To
those members who are legal drinking age)?
Reason - We would like to offer these beverage
(beer, hard lemonade, wine, etc.) in very limited quantites,
for the enjoyment of our players. This
process will allow our Domain to collect donations and also allow us to
restrain the intake and availability of these beverages. We would also
institute a rule that the only alchohol that may be
consumed is that offered by the domain.
This will reduce the amount alcohol being consumed (possibly adding a
"no more than two (2) beverages per person rule). Please advise.
From Anna: I am referring you to page 15 of the handbook. I am also sending your question to Wes to see if he has set anything in concrete that I am unaware of. |

Highlights
of Meeting Minutes: 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: We spoke
about concessions and that I had received permission to sell
drinks and such at game from the DC. I also informed that the DC report
had not been released yet. I also told them that audits are at a stand
still until the freeze is released by the as-yet-to-be-determined RC.
Current
Projects:
- At a stalemate with the audits. No accurate records
are kept of the ST Recognition awards. Assistance was requested of Sharon
back and June. I assume it was lost in the shuffle. Also prestige
records that was on the
old SW Region site are no longer there and the mirror of the records on the ANC
Prestige site are inaccurate (I am particularly referencing the SWRE 2000
awards).
