Old Business –

Jill beck motioned to un-table the motion; 2^nd by Christine; Original motion - Phil Taylor made a motion “That the Raleigh Jaycees donate $2350 to each of the NC Jaycees Priority or Special Projects: The NC Jaycee Burn Center, The Jaycee Cottage at the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina at Lake Waccamaw, and The NC Jaycee Outpatient Treatment Center at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. That these payments be made to the State organization upon completion of the budget process of the Turkey Shoot and Haunted House projects or December 9, 2006, whichever is earlier. That up to $1000 of one of these payments can be held over until January 2007 at the request of the President-elect in order to aid in the 2007 POE competition. That this motion becomes null and void should the budgeting process of the Haunted House and Turkey Shoot projects reveal that the cost of this motion will exceed 33% of the surplus of the three major Ways and Means efforts[2].” voted; division – yes has it – Jill has been asked to read a statement from Phil – did tell Phil that we are confident in the surplus – it’s highly likely; do know bills still need to be paid; if the issue is what the percentage of it at 33% - we would have to put a stop the payment once presented on 12/9. Christine moves to strike the last sentence of the motion; 2^nd Max Hall; discussion on motion; motion passes

Now on the amended motion – we have the money; we still have money in reserves and enough to put away for turkey shoot building. – we should consider the current members not the old members; there are different discussions on who and how much should be donated; Duke cancer center and burn center – would prefer that the money go to HOBY and Goodfellows instead of the state projects – why not give it back to our projects; we ask our project chairs to raise money when these other charities have many people for fundraising

Leah motioned to amend the motion to give money to GF and Hoby; 2^nd by John Welch; people think that these should be in addition to the state projects; would like to open up to other options; we should separate and give to other; call to question by chip the amendment to the motion; 2^nd by Christine; voted; division; amendment fails; discussion to amendment – we have given our designated amounts already; this is additional money that should be considered separate issue; we give a lot of ourselves and money to these projects; don’t really agree with the split up; have raised money to other projects; Duke and Carolina don’t really need that much help – we should think about our projects first; have money in reserves for these other projects; lose the flexibility once money is given to CIF; giving this money to the patients not the board that runs it; would like to see the motion stay as it stands since this is honoring the state Jaycees; should not year; these projects are close to our hearts; we have reserve money and should consider to where we give this money; would make an unequal distribution to the chapter; we are uncertain of next year’s fundraising efforts – no Brookhill; HH had major expenses; think strategically; call to question by John Welch; 2^nd by max; passes – vote on the amendment to the motion – voted; division; nays more; amendment fails;

Discussion on motion – why the date of this – executive meeting so we can present the checks; have done our share for duke this year; boys home really needs the help; would rather see a trust setup for these charities instead of onetime donations; call to question by Jill; 2^nd by Melissa; voted – division – fails;

This is two separate issues; how much and who should get the money; John Welch makes a motion to separate the questions – who should get the money and how much should be donated to the state charities; non debatable motion; 2^nd by Ed Connell; motion not in order;

Discussion back on the motion – a lot of issues on the table; should have more information on this project; it was out of order how it was done at the joint meeting; Christine is making a motion to table this motion until the December board meeting; 2^nd by Melissa; Robert’s rules of order were discussed; we have several weeks to go back and forth over email to discuss this; don’t want to see what happens tonight so we can make a decision; Phil did want this brought up even though he is not here tonight; make a discussion over email; separate the date than; Carter has made a motion to amend the table motion to December 20^th; 2^nd by Leah; discussion – would like this date so we still have the next day to discuss; vote – motion failed; call to question by Ed; 2^nd by John Welch; motion to table this discussion to the board meeting; nays have it – motion fails;

Call to question on the original motion by Christine; 2^nd by Jamilyn; voted – passed – now motion is - “That the Raleigh Jaycees donate $2350 to each of the NC Jaycees Priority or Special Projects: The NC Jaycee Burn Center, The Jaycee Cottage at the Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina at Lake Waccamaw, and The NC Jaycee Outpatient Treatment Center at the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. That these payments be made to the State organization upon completion of the budget process of the Turkey Shoot and Haunted House projects or December 9, 2006, whichever is earlier. That up to $1000 of one of these payments can be held over until January 2007 at the request of the President-elect in order to aid in the 2007 POE competition.
