Oswald mentioned all the generous donations which helped us convert our regional loan to a grant, since we matched the loan amount in donations.  We do need $2400.00 to complete the member portion of additional maintenance that the house needed

Record October, but about 3% down for the year to date.  Superhosts 14th quarter in a row.

 

Rental Report. <insert report here>

 

Housing Report. <insert report here>

 

Web sites: Real Basics – working on a proposal to maintain and refresh our web sites.  Committee is working on that.

 

Region still needs a secretary.

 

Jim called for a volunteer to help setup a fund from our local group to assist members financially to attend SUBUD events.

 

Latihan location? Does anyone have any input on this?  No input.  Carpooling might be helpful to mitigate parking issues. Bhakti would be interesting in coordinating this.

 

Holiday Party December 22nd.  Everyone is invited.  Potluck.

 

Marston & Salamah are interested in pursuing a daytime latihan.  Paul thinks it a good idea to start talking about another open house in the future.
