VI.ASC Chair Report –First off I want to thank you all for electing me to be your chair for the coming year. I had noticed a lot of cross-talk at the ASC meeting this month. I would like to see less of this in the future….let’s try to remember why we are there. I would also want to note that as the donation from the area as per page 5 lines 27-29. In this case it brings us down below prudent reserve. If you would like to amend this or delete it please bring a motion to the next ASC. We also had to get the newsletter chair to step down. So we are now looking for a new newsletter chair. Also we need Sub-committee budgets for next year and don’t forget to enclose last years. ILS Gary2
