A discussion of defining regular participation for membership was held. A continuance of this discussion was held at the next meeting with changes. The following proposal was motioned and accepted:
-------------------------------------------------------
Membership Policy
As a community organization, we are defining who are able to guide it forward. Guidance needs to be informed by participation with the community. As such, we propose the following definition of regular participation for our community guides, the voting members:
1) Participation will be measured annualy, using a one year period beginning June 21st.
2) Included are any GSSC Inc sponsored events, fellowship meetings, or community-shared communications. Participation will not include council meetings or membership meetings as they are operational.
3) Participation requires members to stay informed. This means members must provide valid contact information; preferably a valid email, but may include their phone number and/or mail address, to allow communications regarding GSSC Inc. This form of communication must remain valid and be updated when changed.
4) Participation can be in multiple forms and will be defined as hours for the purpose of record-keeping. The total participation per year a member must meet is 200 hours. Any combination of hours can be used to achieve the total.
a) Two hours for physical presence at a GSSC Inc. fellowship or sponsored event, possibly more as warranted.
b) One hour for participating in electronic discussions in a meaningful and relevant manner.
c) One hour for each volunteer hour done in service for GSSC Inc.
d) One hour for every $10 donated to GSSC with a maximum of 50 hours in this category.
5) A special waiver may be applied for in advance for prolonged educational, missionary, or military reasons only but must still include 3 hours participation.
-------------------------------------------------------
Record keeping for volunteer hours are to be kept by the community coordinator and we plan to provide a sign in sheet for each activity as available.
The council will continue discussions about volunteer hours next meeting and ask for input to define this better.
Cindy has decided to resign from the council at this time.
Based on conversation for current use, the council approved to replenish the Garden's discretionary fund.

Three votes were held and approved:
1) Remove Brandon and Robin as members from the members roles due to no communication.
2) Adopt a statement and post it:
In light of the Supreme Court decision to the MasterPiece Cake Shop, Ltd vs.Colorado Civil Rights,
we present this poem:
" He drew a circle that shut me out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!"
--- Outwitted, by Edwin Markham
3) The entire council was approved to continue.
For every tweet today using #TreeMobile, T-Mobile will make a donation to plant up to 50k trees.
