- In-person chip giving ceremony – A motion was made and seconded that LR hold a second chip-giving ceremony outdoors and that chips also be sent to those unable to attend via mail. Rebecca J. will coordinate the logistics for the ceremony.
- A motion was made and seconded that LR expand the in-person noon meetings to include Friday and Saturday. Eddie P. will find secretaries for those days. Meeting secretaries will be given control over the format and topic of their respective meeting so long as it is not overly redundant with the other existing meeting topics that LR offers.
- A motion was made and seconded that LR’s in-person noon meetings will not be advertised on WhatsApp, the LR website, or WAIA, but rather be via word of mouth due to limited seating.
- As in-person meetings expand, secretaries who are chairing online meetings that were in-person meetings before COVID-19 will not lose their positions once the rooms reopen permanently. The secretarial positions that are being formed are temporary due to COVID-19.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:36 A.M.
