Willamette Valley NORML Board Meeting Minutes - 11/15/2009, 1:00 PM, @ Jims

• A Look Backward (10 min)

  Discussion: + Per Perry S., Really need to have Member meet for Board elections. We keep suffering Schedule creep on this; originally done in July of ‘07, we delayed until September in ’08 and now past that in ’09. This is because we need to have more people working on things like these administrative duties as well as core mission and special projects.

  Motion to organize Member meeting for the purpose of Elections and any other such necessary business ASAP; seconded and passed. Perry S., will contact Herbs about doing it there and Members to get them there.

• A Look Forward (10 min)

  Discussion: + Per Perry S., Should change type of filing with State for Non-Profit from Public Benefit to Mutual Benefit. PB costs extra $10 per year (or more when we miss filing) and is not being used. Was originally set up with the optimistic intention we were going to raffle off a car or some big ticket item like that.

  Motion to type of filing with State; seconded and passed. Perry S., will take charge of this task.

  Discussion: + We NEED to get our 501c3 (federal) paperwork done.

  Motion to pursue this; seconded and passed. Jen V., has some potential resources and will explore them and report back ASAP.

• I-28, I-32, OCTA and other legislative items.  

  Discussion: General consensus is we want to support the good stuff and oppose the bad.

• Opportunities

  Discussion: We want to pursue setting up a Cannabis Café in Eugene, similar to Oregon NORMLs. Will discuss with various resources and generally plan to see what it will take and make it happen As-Much-As-Possible. Want to do this in a manner to be in a position to make the most of the upcoming Dispensary initiative.

  It will be a good discussion point for Raising and Utilizing Membership, and other related items, if nothing else.
