Meeting was called to order at 6:45. Louise read the minutes from the previous meeting of October 2, 1986.
I. OLD BUSINESS
A. Micheal has two (2) updated copies of the National Directory.
II. NEW BUSINESS
A. Laurie received the minutes from the Conference. We’re to make any changes, comments and/or suggestions as soon as possible. We will bring in all our noses and consolidate them.
B. Bob made a motion that the trustees need not attend any W.S. Board meetings. If they would like a copy of the minutes, we will send them. Motion passed.
C. The W.S. Convention meetings are being held in San Francisco since that is the location of the next convention. Willie and Bob are attending various meetings and will keep us informed. It was discussed and San Francisco will need to be informed that since this is a World Service function and the name of the corporation is C.A.W.S. then all funds must go through the main account which is held in Los Angeles. It was.suggested, therefore, that we should have the registration go through the W.S. office so we can keep track through our account. We have to do this in order to keep our non-profit status and not be fined and closed down by the Attorney General.
D. The Conference decided to have the next Conference in Reno.
It would be more cost effective to have it in Los Angeles. Willie made a motion to have the Conference and all future Conferences in Los Angeles or within 25 miles. Motion passed.
Willie made a motion to have the next Conference at one of the Marriott Hotels. Motion passed. The date will be decided on later.
E. Helene said Cocanon would like their money from the Convention. Bob M. will contact Bob Campbell and find out a total so we can pay them.
