                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On 8/8/24 we held our annual elections. The first item of business was a motion to shorten the length of commitment for service positions from one year to six months. </p>
<p>It was pointed out that this would be less daunting and make it easier for people to commit to a service position. </p>
<p>The motion passed unanimously. </p>
<p>We also voted on new service position officers; a full run down can be found in the news section in this post: <a href="https://thursdaynewhope.org/news/8-8-24-elections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">8-8-24 Election results</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone-</p>
<p>My life is a mess right now, and I really need some help. I don't have the focus to maintain my duties as treasurer, and I really can't keep the key anymore because I'm not able to commit to every Thursday. </p>
<p>Bill and I chatted yesterday and historically the secretary was the one who held the key. However, I know that Mark doesn't live super close to the church so it may be better for someone else to have it. </p>
<p>@BobF you had offered at one point (if I remember correctly) to be the Holder of the Key; if I met you and passed it off to you (and of course we updated the paperwork with Laurie) would you be willing to take that on?</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Bill M is leading. We will be reading Step 5. (I don't remember exactly where.)</p>
<p>As outlined in another post on the forum, Bob F has proposed that we get another key for the group, details to follow. We may need to have a group conscience on putting down a $100 deposit for a second key, as they are issued to individuals, not to the group.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gents, I met with Laurie at the church this afternoon.  All that would be required for a second key to be issued is a new $100 security deposit.  Each key is issued to an individual, not to the group. I am willing to be that individual for the second key - assuming that we’re willing and able to pay the new $100 deposit. <br /><br /></p>
<p>I won’t be at this week’s meeting at all - my son is flying in from Florida on Thursday.  However, I’m planning on attending next week’s meeting live and in person in the room.  I know, quite a shock!   Anyway, we should put this up to a business meeting or a group conscience vote - the key deposit, not my attendance!  I really look forward to seeing you all next week!  Bob F</p>]]></content:encoded>
