7) Old Business:

1. Removal of trusted servant Cedric Smith from position of service by the executive committee of convention XII as comptroller. Cedric Smith stated that he was in training of this position and was doped feened by Melven Kurr convention XII chair, and stated that all we ask from trusted servants that we just report and follow the concepts. The executive committee decided that the removal of Cedric Smith was invalid but convention vice chair did state that no written reports were ever given. Which is ineffective communication.

2. Request ad hoc committee to oversee management of convention by Will J. was not talked about and should be talked about under this meeting under new business. Treasurer Susan request vice chair of region to sit on the next meeting of the convention committee. Cedric stated he could not commit to this meeting. Cedric recommends that's all with question / interests show up at next meeting.

8) New Business:

1. Cedric S noted that western NY regional service will prosecute Melvin Kurr convention chair treasurer of convention XII on theft of funds amount unknown as of yet.

2. A motion was made by Bob B. and seconded by Susan M. With friendly amendment that a special committee be formed to investigate the theft of funds from the convention XII treasurer motion was never addressed.

3. As of now the web site committee has a vote as it pertains to regional business
