Fitch, LTJG Morris, CO Marge Mayer Richard opened the meeting at 8:15 am. Richard gave a treasurers update: a significant sum was earned on the silent auction at the January banquet, and some $ was received in donations. The auction money is for PGO treasury, at this point we’re unsure if the donations will go toward the Cadet treasury or PGO. The caterers have been paid—total cost of the meal was $600 just about $5.00 per person. The Ice Cream Social was delayed but will be served in upcoming months, probably during the Commanders Cup in April. There was a discussion about having the PGO elections immediately following the banquet. The Secretary will check the PGO Bylaws and report whether a bylaw change needs to be proposed. It was moved, seconded and passed that elections be held in December with assumption of duties in January. Upcoming Events: March: being finalized. Snow Camp to be held at Cusick FAFB Survival School, the backup is Harvey Property in Newport. Seabag list will be distributed today. Some activities include: winter orienteering, safety briefs, live-fire qualifications. Permission slips for cadets to shoot live-fire need to be signed today. April: Commander’s Cup. Region 13 has approximately $1,000, LCDR Smith needs to request the funds. These funds are used as “seed money”, so the host unit/PGO doesn’t need to expend their funds to purchase food and supplies for the event.
