Old Business

- Costume Progress
- Ben and Jen both reported that they have made progress on their costumes.
- Recruiting Progress
- Jim reported that he made contact with a prospective new member. This was done via email. The prospect returned an email to Jim, but did not make a commitment. Jim will follow up after the holidays.
- Jim will also be meeting very soon with another prospective member.
- Grand Comic Con (March 22-24)
- Jim learned that Raptor's Heart commander has reserved a room in Grand Island for this event.
- Community Thanksgiving Dinner Help
- Members of the ship volunteered to help with the Kearney Area Concerned Citizens annual free Thanksgiving Dinner. We mostly prepared yams for the oven. Jim did sustain injuries (burned finger tips from peeling boiling hot yams) but we did have a good time.
- Jim polled the group about the experience and everyone showed interest in volunteering again next year.
- Operation: Salvation Army II
- The ship was scheduled to volunteer at the Salvation Army once again on Saturday, December 15th. Jamie was contacted by the S.A. director who informed her that they had some changes in deliveries and that the event was being moved to another day. Unfortunately, we were not able to make the new date.
- Valentines for Shut-Ins
- The plan is that the cadets will be gathering to make Valentine cards for nursing home residents at North Ridge. Jamie will contact them to find out how many residents there are.
- December 6th and January 30th are two days that the cadets will be working on these cards. More dates will be added as needed.
- Costuming Day
- Along with the cadet project, we are planning a costuming day on January 6th.
New Business:
- O-Con (June 28-30)
- Jim has passes for himself and Chrissy for the event.
- Jim will be ordering passes for Jamie's family before the discount deadline at the end of the month.
- Photo Album for Display at Cons, etc.
- It was decided that we will purchase a regular photo album and begin stocking it with photos taken at various events we attend. We feel that it will be a good recruiting tool and that it will generate interest in the group.
- Jamie also suggested that we make a display board for the table. This was also approved.
- Jim will order prints for both the items
- A date to be determined will be chosen to work on these projects.
For The Good Of The Ship:
- Jim mentioned that the "pass the hat" idea for raising ship's funds is not working. Ben and Jamie both suggested that we try to use an internet service to get funds from those that don't carry cash. Jim mentioned that this would do nothing more than add a step to the process, and that it might also begin to cost money. Jamie said that she would try to remember to send out reminders.
- Jamie said that she will be looking for service projects for this spring. Possibly in April.
- The next ship's meeting has been scheduled to be held on January 6th at noon. this will also serve as a project day for costuming, and other activities.
- There being no further business to be discussed, the meeting adjourned at 6:54 PM.
Qapla'!
