PR please make proper changes needed. we discussed can our subcommittee make motions that pertain to our committee. we decided that we are in no conflict if we write motions that pertain to pages 1-16 and since the motions would change policy they have to hit asc floor and need to be seconded. also can be waved to handle at asc if body feels that fits. we discussed a motion related to changing asc format and PR asking for a one time expense for basic texts. both motions were reviewed and will be hitting floor today. Jim totally committed provided me with a resource to get policies and binders printed. thank you.

7 for anyone who has concerns with policy budget. here is how it breaks down. 25 policies needed. policy is 80 pages. 80x25 = 2,000 gsr tool kit - 32 pages x 25 copies needed = binders once a year - $2ea x 25 = $50 miscelanious supplies - $50 we are actually budgeted to little but we will make it work as a committee. Next month we will be discussing asc successor list, literature budget, asc secretary guidelines, and looking at having a month review for motion prior to having a vote. items in near future to discuss are - disaster plan, gsr orientation, nominee voting process, banking guidelines, and archive maintaining. RCM: Activities (B): 3/11/18 Last event bowling night was a huge success. It was well supported with over 50 people there. Thank you to everyone that came out.
