IV. Vision of the Order

Kinshack has placed a request for the following from every member:

Describe in 30 words or less your vision of what the order is, and what its purpose is. The key is to do it in less than 30 words. I want you to choose which points or ideas are most important and force you to prioritize your idea of what makes the Order what it is.

The responses will be anonymous but will be used to pursue discussion that will ideally unify our mission and how we can support it with our day to day actions. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Please send to Kinshack (jrladieu@oceagroup.com).

V. Joining the Town Hall Organization

Much discussion was had regarding the Town Hall Organization.

A vote was passed to join the PRO organization, however it was split with 5 votes aye, 5 votes nay. Consequently further discussion will be had next week.

VI. Other

Next meeting will be in two weeks, 5104-07-25. Also next week 5104-07-18 we will be holding a chivalry seminar on Honor. More details forthcoming from Shirkon.
