**Regional Committee Members Report,

 

 

Greetings-

 

Nothing new to report at this time as we have not met since last area.  I have forwarded the full region reports for Tom to forward on to all GSRs for anyone interested.  I plan on attending the upcoming Regional Service meetings on July 20-21, so I'll need the money to do so.  Also, this will be my last Regional Service meeting as RCM.  I will be more than happy to attend one more Region if the area can find another RCM who needs me to go along to assist in the transition.  If there is not another RCM elected by the time the October Region occurs, I will not be attending. 

 

Grateful to Serve- Nick P

                                             ACTIVITIES REPORT

 

Hello Family

 

The campout went very well!  We had a very high percentage of newcomers in attendance, which I was very pleased with.  In the end, we're returning $428.00 to area, and that is with a large portion of the campers not contributing cash.  Most, if not all campers did, however, contribute in some way whether by food donations or paying.  Either way we made our money back and everyone had a great time!  While Tony and I didn't manage to get an exact head count, I would estimate that we had approximately 35 campers with another 15-20 people showing up during the course of the weekend to hang out for the day.  The breakdown for how the money was spent is as follows:

 

$252.00 campsites

$71.85 Burgers and hotdogs

$72.25 Sam's Club

$71.18 Walmart

$2.72 Grill Gas

 

$470.00 Total Spent

$498.00 Paying Campers/ Auction/ 7th Tradition

 

I've given the cash ($428) to Tony to turn over to the treasurer, along with all the receipts.
