Business Meeting Minutes

02/08/2004

In attendance were: Mike, Jim, Leesa, Anne, and Judi

Locations for Equinox rite were discussed.  Consensus was for
using the Northern Reservable area at High Banks again.  The 7
am to 4 pm time slot was selected as best, just in case there
happens to be a major sporting event that day (*cough* NCAA
basketball *cough).  Note -- even though we would technically
have the shelter from 7 am on, we would not be starting that
early.

There have been no new members joined since the last business
meeting.

Community service options proposed for this quarter:
  -  Parks and Recreation (not much on their site, but I called
and we'd have to pick a park and then call the rep for that park
to find out what they need us to do)
  -  Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/programdirectory/volunteer.htm)
  -  Project Open Hand
(http://www.livejournal.com/community/columbus/548171.html)

Community service options proposed for next quarter:
  -  Comfest (http://www.comfest.com/forvolunteers.htm)

Nate has an Earth Mother invocation that he would like to use to
replace the current one and should be posting it to the group
soon.   (HINT HINT NATE :)

The 21st will be the Sumbel.  The cabin idea has been ditched
due to costs.  A hotel room(s) in town will be procured for this
event.  There will be a separate email regarding this.

The next DP study group meeting will be the 21st prior to the
Sumbel at the same location (i.e. the room(s) where the Sumbel
will be).

Omens from Imbolc were:
  -  Ansuz
  -  Mannaz
  -  Wunjo
  (or as Mike says, it's going to be raining men and we are to
enjoy them.)

Jim (and Leesa) have uploaded his banner idea to the group page.
 Please look it over and forward opinions to the list.
