Present: Mike and Venita Shellman, Danny and Felicia Loya, Ginny Mouawad, Bob Fender, Jill Travis, Sharon Magnuson, Bill McKibben and Kathy Wood

Open with brief meditation, communion and prayer.

Rector/Rectora Schedules (Long and Short versions) are to be discussed at the next meeting.

A discussion about the meaning of and criteria for a Team Member. A Team Member is a member of the Tres Dias Community who has attended at least one Team Meeting during the Pre-Weekend phase and has submitted both a Team Application and a Team Envelope. This information regarding the criteria is contained on the team application but it needs to be emphasized, hence the inclusion with these minutes. Tres Dias Essentials require that there be Team Meetings and Practice Rollos of all 15 Rollos conducted before the Weekend. Only Team Members can give Rollos. All other individuals who come to assist on the Weekend(s) are considered Angels.

Rectora/Rector reports:

There are 17 men and 18 women confirmed for the upcoming weekends. The maximum at Grand Avenue is 18. All others are “wait listed”. Any old Candidate/Sponsor applications and existing applications are to be given to the Secretary after the Weekend. The Secretary will maintain a file on these applications.

There was a question about the Prayer Partner letter to be sent to the Candidates as well as a discussion about registration procedures on Thursday evening of each Weekend.

There was a brief discussion about sponsorship. Sherpa Bob will do a skit at Fiesta to stress the importance of this CHA service.

Candidates were prayed for by name.

Ginny Mouawad gave a practice Rollo for Christian Community in Action.

October Rectora/Rector assignments: Felicia Loya and Duane Pettit.

Dates for the October Weekends are Men OCTD 17: October 6-9 and Women OCTD 18: October 13-16. Fiesta on October 22.

There was a brief discussion about supporting other communities through the Prayer Vigil. There is a link on the Orange County Tres Dias website to get involved. This is to be emphasized with the Community.

The Essentials call for monthly Sequelas to be conducted. Ideas are to be brainstormed at the next Secretariat. Brief discussion about Serenade. Some of the OC Tres Dias men will be going to Arizona in April for the Women’s Weekend to see and experience Serenade. Contact Bill Baley for more information.
