Date and Time: Sunday October 1, 2017 2-5 PM
Location: The Link Counseling Center
348 Mt. Vernon Highway, NE
Atlanta, GA 30328
2:12 PM Meeting called to order
- Z lit a candle for all those effected by the recent earthquake, hurricanes, and storms. She also read a poem by John O’Donohue.
August Board Meeting Minutes were approved.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
- Forgot to do this at the last board meeting. Z asked if the people who served last year would be willing to do it again (Cathy, Van, and Bill). All agreed. We will vote on officers at the next board meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
- Discussed increasing membership fees for next year. We passed the motion to increase Student rate to $40, Individual rate to $60, and Couple rate to $100 for 2018. We will also do a one time offer for members to renew before December 31, 2017 at the present rate. We are going to do away with the half-year membership fees.
- Currently, lectures are at $20. Workshops are $60 for members and $70 for non-members. We decided to go by event for cost of the lectures and workshops for next year. We will discuss this over email for the beginning workshops of 2018.
- Motion passed for Hollis weekend to have separate prices for Friday and Saturday. Friday lecture is $25 for members, $35 non-members, $15 for students. Saturday workshop is $70 for members, Non-members $85, and student $50. $25 CEU. There is no weekend price.
BOOKS AND MEDIA (Deb)
- Don reminded us to not use “Custom Amount” on iPads. On iPad, when people buy books, go under Items, enter books, and put the total amount for the books they bought.
- Book sales seem to be brisk- sold all of Ashok Bedi’s books
- Cathy asked about a basic dream and symbology book. People gave suggestions.
- Primer packet of terms – Cathy made 10 more copies of Pete’s basic definitions.
- Book purchasing (the need for basic books, keeping inventory, etc.) – Deb has been ordering books. She expressed confusion, so group helped clarify new trends.
TREASURER’S REPORT (Don)
- Don reviewed the treasurer’s report, highlighting that attendance has been much lower. This has made us come in under our expected income (currently at -$10,312). He is hopeful Hollis will help balance this some.
PROGRAMS (Deborah and Cathy)
- Deborah asked for someone to introduce Susan Olson in October. Cathy volunteered.
- Events for next year:
- Deborah has been talking to Michael Meade about coming next year. She is waiting to hear from him on dates.
- Deborah has also been talking to Richard Tarnas’ daughter and the woman from the Marion Woodman Foundation.
- Deborah said the contact with the church has been great. She has submitted the dates to the church for next year. She was told we have preference over someone new. Still waiting to hear back from them on confirmation that our dates are ok.
- Deborah asked if we want to book Hollis for 2018.
- Cathy suggested that if we don’t get Michael Meade, we should go with Hollis.
- Board agreed that if both Hollis and Meade can come, we will do that.
FRONT DESK REGISTRATION (Jennifer)
- Coverage for upcoming meetings
- October: Jennifer, Jayden, Z, and Cathy (if needed)
- November: Jennifer, Jayden
- December: Karen, McAllison, Jennifer, Jayden, Van
- Jennifer had people fill out the membership forms on a separate table, which was helpful.
- Deborah will ask the church for a small card table.
- Don suggested rotation of coverage for the front desk. Jennifer said she is happy to train people.
PUBLICITY (Cathy)
- We agreed that sending postcards two months prior to the event would be better than current practice of sending them a month prior to the event.
- We made a donation to The Council of Churches so we could use the listserv. We can do one week a month.
- Deborah brought up the fact that the most recent event was not on the Master Calendar. In the past, we have done it the week of. Cathy believes that for a workshop, we need two weeks notice. Lectures are ok to do the week of.
- MATN, unfortunately, is no longer communicative.
- Cathy asked for names to send to Georgia West College.
- Jennifer volunteered to put some notecards at the Shambhala center and her daughter will take them to Georgia State University.
- Cathy is meeting with people from different churches to have a contact to send 10 postcards to.
- Cathy met with Atlanta Planet. They think we are a good fit. We need a slogan. We agreed on “Seeking a more conscious life.” For $2,000/year, we can get a picture with our sentence. 4x a year, we could have a visual. WABE can also do an advertisement. Cathy is going to do a press release to send around.
- Cathy has also spoken to Atlanta Magazine. They do different themes. Cathy is not sure they are the right audience.
ATTENDANCE (Don)
- Brainstorm ways to figure out why people don’t come on Saturday. Saturdays are crucial to breaking even on weekend events.
- Bill suggested sending out a survey to ask members this question. Cathy suggested we could hand a paper version of this out at our next event.
- Bill suggested doing a Jung 101 for a topic of a meeting. Others commented it has been hard to find someone willing to do this.
- Jennifer suggested doing more current events. Bill said we could use the Meet Up format for this. Jennifer and Karen offered to help spear head this in the new year.
MEDIA/ SOCIAL MEDIA/ FACEBOOK (Bill)
- Bill put up the events on Facebook and Meet Up today. Please like or join the event.
- Jennifer is locked out of Access Atlanta.
- The idea of the blog was brought back up. Don said this has turned out to be harder than expected as we have to get permission from writers for the newsletter.
NEWSLETTER, WEB (Don)
- Don needs more material. Jennifer offered to write an article.
- Cathy suggested asking Hollis for something on Trump and maybe also asking Steve Buser.
HOSPITALITY (Mahshid)
- Things have been going well. People enjoy the food. Mahshid needs a bigger budget, which Z agreed to.
OLD BUSINESS
- We did not have time to go over the possibility of recording in the new venue and selling things on the Asheville website.
Next meeting is going to be January 14 or 28, 2018 (1-6 PM with dinner after). Z is going to send an email out to confirm with members who aren’t present.
