Hello everyone,

The minutes are in the meeting agenda:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QGSUE6S9_Tbmq9mhtaOYFPW06oprY0i4MFWS4UI4oK0/edit

We did not have enough attendees for a corum so we may need to approve a
few things as a group via email, I'll defer to Bob on that.

I've also copied them here;

Meeting minutes from 9/14/24 - Casey Jackson

Concern around council members not attending meetings, we need 6 attendees
to make a quorum and make decisions within the council. We only have 5 of 9
members at this meeting.

We discussed that the group is willing to re-schedule as needed to
accommodate council member schedules.

Bob requested approval of agenda, Tom and Kenji seconded

Bob lit the chalice and lead us in speaking our words of affirmation

Members checked in

Present members approved minutes from July; will need to request the
remainder of council

Retreat check in by Casey and Tom:

Need some support for helping people register at 9/22 and 9/29 at the
church after services

Feedback survey requested for retreat for after retreat

Skills inventory:

Wiggle room (Cry room) has received some updating, Susan was very grateful
for connections

Use of funds in account: ice cream social, men’s night out, providing seed
money for events

Surveying our fellowship: for sharing in men’s fellowship wants from
community

Men’s circles joining, we have one new addition since July

We discussed a non-binary member who ultimately decided to not join a men’s
circle at this time

Pat brought up creating a best practices for adding new members

Tom mentioned how he joined a 4 meeting trial period, Pat mentioned a 2
meeting trial period, Casey mentioned a 3 meeting trial period

Tom also mentioned making the circle a priority on the two times they meet
a month

Pat plans to begin working on a best practices document for adding new
members

Breakfasts have been well attended, it’s been canceled for October to not
conflict with retreat

Website update to be done do Bob and Erik to discuss

Men’s council Elections need to find candidates, to be lead by Casey, need
to fill two positions: Pat and Jim,

Kenji mentioned he would have difficulty contributing as a full council
member due to needing to be in Japan for a significant portion of first
half of 2025

Casey
