August Nation Council meeting RECAP deux

The meeting commenced by the shores of Sykes Creek on the island of the Kiwanis at sunset (6:40 PM). Everyone of the Chiefs that were present at the meeting are very excited about the up and coming year. Tom Parker (Nation Chief - Storm Cloud - Osage) is attempting to get the Nation's business organized. Let's wish him luck and success. We were paid a visit from the YMCA District VP (Cezar Gonzalez). This is the first time in my recollection and everyone else that the 'Y' has ever attend a meeting. He once was and Indian Guide from the Houston Texas chapter and very enthusiastic about supporting the Central Brevard 'Y' guides, basically us. Cezar is hoping to attend one (1) of our weekend camp-outs. The council meeting will be following an agenda for each and every meeting. For instance as Wampum Bearer I'll be presenting a monthly report on the Nation's funds. This action will be required by each council member. Let's hope this works and keeps all members informed. Tally Keeper (Randy Highsmith - Cherokee) is currently updating the Website and his attempting with the assistance of Mike Holt (Navajo Chief) with a g-mail account and face book place. These two (2) tasks will integrate with the present website and provide a Nation phone number for potential new members to contact us and join-up. Coupe Keeper (Tom Warriner- Cherokee) said our coupe box is well stocked. War Hooper (Joe Landeros - Osage) and Thunder Maker (Byron - Watching Fox) are to partner up for the pyrotechnics activities basically take stock and organizing our stuff to make each monthly camp-outs a "BLAST". The following new business was discussed:
Purchasing a cover for the lodge poles. Trailer tags to be distributed at the September Mtg. The recruitment camp-out activities prelim's on September 18th (see attached flyer). Set January 14th for the date of the Snow Moon Camp-out and tentatively reserved Wickham park. However, the chiefs are to present different locations at the next meeting.
The meeting closed at 8:15PM.
