Notes from the Council: November Meeting

Fellowship meetings are being listed on Reddit.  Seeking presenters for 2019.

11 active members with 37 total members and friends.
Blog: 2 posts in Oct.

New Kroger number published on the web page.  Be sure to update any uncorrected pamphlets before handing them out.

Sharing posts and liking posts is working: Increased followers.  Responses help too.
74 followers on FB.

The Volunteer Hours Tracker Form has been created and will send a link out soon. Below is a non-comprehensive list of examples we reviewed that would be qualifying hours for volunteer work (and will be added to the web pages):

• Attending a fellowship meeting is a minimum credit of 2 hours.
    (Council meetings and Membership vote meetings are 0 by law.)
• Researching a topic relevant to GSSC that is shared with the council or membership such as
• Researching or preparing a homily in anyway related to or benefiting GSSC then Presenting that homily at a fellowship meeting.
• Reading the bylaws and policies, the state and federal laws that govern nonprofits, and reading Robert's Rules of Order
• Researching land opportunities
• Research to find available grants and filling out grant applications
• Creating items for the Homeless Hookers Project or any work in relation to Homeless Hookers
• Creating policies in support of GSSC goals outside of council meetings.
• Administrative work done for GSSC outside of council meetings, such as Bookkeeping
• Web page maintenance (including server hardware and hosting support)
• Tasks in support of maintenance of the GSSC library
• Being trained to do administrative activities while not holding the board position. Such as learning how to be the Historian, how to maintain the social media, the web page, file paperwork, etc. Assisting the board with such activities to help administrate.
  
• Adding content to GSSC web pages (wiki, etc.)
• Liking, sharing, or responding to GSSC content to increase page views on social media, Facebook and the Blog.  We can add more platforms if there is interest.
• Tasks in relation to clergy, activities done as a GSSC clergy
• Fundraising for GSSC
• Paperwork associated with fundraising ideas
• Time spent making or gathering items then donated to GSSC Inc, directly.
• Time spent gathering or making items donated to the membership, such as food, clothing and coupon swaps.
• Time spent making or gathering items for fundraising resale, (Remember, you can get reimbursed only cost of materials at time of sale.  If we pay for labor, it cannot be used for volunteer hours by law.  Donated items are a tax deduction!)
• Signing up yourself or others to support GSSC via the Kroger rewards program or Smile.amazon.com|
• Time spent driving long distances to support GSSC or its members
• Time used for positive community building communications such as emailing and chatting about GSSC and the gist of which we'd hear about at a meeting if it is not a medium visible already to the council or membership.  Ex. Two people associated with GSSC meet for coffee and later one reports at a meeting, " I spent a couple hours talking with Sue, she's doing Ok.  I told her about the fundraiser ideas. She suggested a musician we could use." If it meets the requirements for a business call or lunch, etc, then we should be able to count the time.
• Speaking out in support or talking positively to potential new members/supporters of GSSC or as PR
• Any work or trips GSSC members do to further our goals or for community benefits.  Such as
• our trip to see HH the Dalai Lama 14th
• if we signed up as GSSC to volunteer to plant trees
• Helping with any GSSC sponsored event (including setup and cleanup)

The council notes the action of the state of CA for reporting of donations/donors. Anonymity in state records may not be available to donors in the future.  The treasurer will create a committee to document toe procedure on filing the 990 as it relates to volunteer hours versus skilled labor donations.

UUFMC options discussed. Recommending a feasibility study for Samhain and Beltane.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Notes from the Council: Aug + Sept Meeting

In the last 2 meetings, the following things went forward.

Current Assets:  1768.68 (Property Fund = $1292.51)

GSSC was listed on witchvox.com and our meeting time was posted to reddit.

Discussions on who/what/when for Pagan Pride in Louisville on Sept 8.  Sonny and Peter to be there with Theo and Tristan helping.

Sharing posts gets more views than just likes (facebook).

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.

Next meeting will be October 7th.

Notes from the GSSC Council - July 2018

We will do a booth at the Pagan Pride Louisville including selling items or readings with cost recoup for those involved.  If you want to donate sellables, let us know.

The Chaplaincy plans to attend a Veterans Affairs informational in Louisville on July 26th.

For the August meeting, we will be reviewing proposals of definitions for "regular participation" to be a member that fit within our bylaws.  How would you define this?  Give us your feedback!

It was requested we keep an eye out for "other religion" and GSSC topics of interest texts to add to the Library.

Thank you,

The Sixth Extinction

"Earth's sixth mass extinction event is underway," the headlines of dozens of major newspapers warned last summer.
The number of wild animals in the world has been cut in half in the last 50 years, and nearly half of all mammals have lost more than 80 percent of their range/population in the last 100 years, said a study published last July in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

We're in the Middle of Earth's 6th Mass Extinction ... Why Doesn't Anyone Care?

Earth's 5th mass extinction was 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs and countless other species disappeared. Humans could go out with the 6th…
