can't even remember that they supoosedly did in = September. If one examines
my report, there are several members who just sort of = forget things for a
few months then WHAM! Months of backdated prestige = requests. It's a pain for
me, and I imagine it's not a treat for Pete or the RC = staff either. I'd like
to establish a limit for Twilight Cathedral. Can = I?"

~~~~~RC Note: if you wish to, go ahead..rather than = setting a set amount of
time that can be backdated, use your personal = judgement.and if you can't
remember them doing that for prestige and no one can = back them up on
it..feel free to not accept it.~~~~~

   "3. Can I require members of = Twilight Cathedral to submit their prestige
requests on a sheet provided to all of them at no = cost? It would, again
remember that I'm dealing with a huge Chapter, make = my reports easier and
more accurate. Is there a policy on = this?"
   "4. Every once in a while (you may = not have noticed) I try to slip a
little humour into my reports. Is this something I = should avoid? (as a
matter of policy, not because I'm not = funny)"   (ARC Note: I don't mind it
at all, Eric; it makes my job a bit less = tedious.  I would suggest though
that you don't go overboard with it; the occassional = comment is fine, but
humor should not overwhelm the report.  Make = sense?)
   "5. Is there a policy at the = Regional or National level regarding what
sorts of Charities a Chapter is allowed to support = and or work with?"

~~~~~RC note: not that I am aware of, and I don't = intend to be placing any
sort of restrictions on which charities people can = contribute to~~~~~

   "6. Is the 9/11 blood drive still = ongoing? I didn't think so when I
awarded prestige this month. I want to be sure = though, so that I don't screw
anyone who gave blood last month or this = month."

~~~~~RC note:  It's not.the regional bonus ended = in October if I
recall.~~~~~

   "7. My ACC, Harold (yes, I know!) = says that one cannot hold a CC position
and an ARC position at the same time. Is this true? = And if so, why? "

~~~~~RC note:  it would be considered a conflict = of interest and
overburdening of the member.I would not recommend = that any of my ARCs hold
primary positions..and preferably no positions above = chapter level.  Being
on the regional staff is a lot of work in and of = itself, and adding more by
having someone hold a primary positon on the chapter = level is a fast way to
burnout and overwork yourself.~~~~~

    Suggestions:
   1) "I'd like to see CCs receive = updates on pending matters that they've
sent up the *C chain. Monthly or biweekly, something = just from the
appropriate regional person saying that we're aware = of your issue and we're
working on it. Not hearing anything makes one wonder = if an issue has been
forgotten, resolved, or is ongoing. "
   2) "Perhaps we should have a small = dossier of Regional Policies available
for downloading and printing somewhere. It would be a = nice thing to have for
those times when members insist on seeing things on = paper. The whole matter
of releases and such is a good example."

~~~~~It's a task I'm going to be having the ARC Web = do, as soon as I get the
position filled~~~~~

   Comments:
   "Please note that several prestige = listings contain backdated items that
were either not reported in time for proper inclusion = or were earned prior

~~~~~RC Note: Delegation.and making sure that folks = can take a break once
and a while.~~~~~

   "Well, the WWP vs BOD saga has = generated some interest for me and Harold.
Every one else seems pretty blase about it, at least = every one in our
Chapter. I've kept my opinions about the whole thing = to myself. I view it as
part of the duties of the CC to remain officially = nuetral in these sorts of
situations. Whatever the end result, the = introspection it has engendered at
the regional and national levels is a good thing, I = think. In the long run,
such self examination and reassessment of priorities = and goals will only
help the organization improve and grow.

Current Projects:
There is now an Eternal Times Yahoo Group under my = moderation. This list is
to
coordinate our efforts to produce and publish the SW = Regional newsletter.

I will be assigning assignments to the staff based = upon their stated talents
and proposals. These assignments include fiction = writing, columns writing,
artwork, illustrations, and RL reports. I will = contact the RC and the RST
for
their input as well as the input of their respective = staffs.

Problems:
Ronni Eloff, US-2002-02-1264, had contacted me = regarding photographs she
took
during the 2001 ICC. This project seems to have been = commissioned by Dave
Barry
before I took this position. She has asked me what = will be done with those
photos and whethershe would be awarded prestige for = her work. My response is
that I never received the photos so they cannot be = used, and I cannot verify
her prestige because I was not involved with the = matter. I suggested that
she
contact Dave Barry to settle what disputes she has = with prestige. I added
that
I would confirm any prestige recommendations that = Barry would make on her
behalf. To my knowledge, Eloff have attempted to = contact Barry, but I do not
know the results as of yet.

I'm leaving this matter alone until one of the two of = them contacts me
again.

Questions:
Is there anything that you would like to be included = in the newsletter?

This report consists of the following sections:

1.  SUMMARY
2.  OUTSTANDING ISSUES
3.  CURRENT ISSUES
4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
6.  INDEPENDENT REPORT

1.  SUMMARY

Most of my projects have been slightly put on hold due = to the lack of
database. I no longer need track officers who have = not taken ordeals at this
time. Much of the month has been fielding member = questions and concerns.
I've fielded a number of going independent requests. = Dealt with some members
transferring and other miscellaneous problems. = Otherwise things have been
somewhat weird with the death rattle of the = NPO.

2.  OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Luke Stuard of Dark Side of Eden is currently pending = for transferal to
Independent Status.
Luke lives in Hemmet which is at least 50 miles from = the nearest chapter.
Currently DSE is in the process of folding I believe. = What is the procedure
for folding a chapter? I have

~~~~~RC Note: I did not receive the full statement in = this section of the
Outreach report~~~~~

3.  CURRENT PROJECTS

I. Currently still involved with the 30 mile rule for = those members of
distant chapters. Will be sending out a notice to = SW-coordinator and SW-
Region giving till the end of the month to get in = compliance with this rule.
Will discuss resolving those who continue to not be = in compliance at a later
date.

Somewhat hampered in this project as well but still = continuing. I've
tethered a couple requests. One Luke Stuard will be = going independent
pending acceptance of his records. Secondly

II. I am launching into a project of looking into the = various gaming
conventions that are present in the Southwest. I have = become aware that a
number of local members have been running games for = the Camarilla at events
such as stragicon and other like it. Would like to = see more of an organized
presence for the Camarilla at these functions so as = to possibly offer more
recruitment opportunities. Will have more as the = months to follow.

~~~~~RC Note: As far as Cons go, I am aware of = DunDraCon, Manafest, Hexacon,
TusCON, off the top of my head. there is prolly a = listing somewhere on a
website.~~~~~

 Status. Missed the latest Stragicon but these = sort of events are held every
three months. I have a question though as to how much = we represent White
wolf at these events being the offical fan club and = all.

4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS

None at this time.

5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS

I.E. know this has been asked before but what is the = application procedure
now for a new chapter. Who does chapter applications = get sent to?

II.What is the procedure for folding a chapter? I have = been asked this by
local chapter officers in regards to chapter business = instead of letting a
chapter go into the black.

I

1. SUMMARY
    A fairly busy month with a great = deal of change and turn-over all
around.
I finally had a chance to chat with Sarah over the = phone, which was very
pleasant.

2.  OUTSTANDING ISSUES
    The 0111 and 0201 Regional reports = need to come out, mostly to keep the
Coords from getting restless. I know Sarah's on this = already.

3.  CURRENT ISSUES
    I don't have a very specific area = of duty, and that means I try to keep
an eye out all around. Some possible tension is = developing in the Modesto
Chapter due to its proposed split into two separate = Chapters, with the
intention to then form a Domain. Everyone seems to = want the chapter to split
(it's huge) and everyone seems to want a domain. But = the way in which the
split happened has quite a few people upset, and it = would, in my opinion,
hamper the effective cooperation a domain = necessitates. I've spoken to many
of the involved members in passing to keep abreast of = the situation.
    I've fielded a number of questions = around the board otherwise, but
nothing terribly pressing. Everyone is still getting = used to the ins and
outs
of the new club.

4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
    Apart from the above, life = continues swimmingly. I finally received the
information necessary to set up the White Wolf = SW-Coord and SW-Reports
lists,
and just got done double-checking who's on versus who = should be, updatig my
own subscription lists, and then subbing everyone in = plain sight.

5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
    None as such, though in general I = dislike the White Wolf list system as
compared to the Mailman system we'd just gotten used = to. Even the
yahoo-groups bit that i set up in the interum had = some decided advantages.
Running a list like this is tedius and = time-consuming, so those systems that
cut down the amount of steps necessary for monthly = maintainance are worth
gold to me.

4. RECEIVED REVIEWS
5. REVIEWS IN PROGRESS
6. APPROVED REVIEWS

1. SUMMARY
I was a little distracted by some personal issues, = all has passed and I'd
like to think I'm quickly catching up.  I did = not get a chance to review the
archives of the prestige group, but I will begin to = do so next week, adding
a little here a little there.  There is, in = fact, a direct correlation
between the number of audits I can do in a week and = the lack of presence of
my boss at work.  If you petition her to be = there less often, I can do more
audits more quickly.  Contact information may be = provided upon private
request.
I will be tackling the SWRE 200 prestige and those = will hopefully be out
ASAP.

2. QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
None, but after I hit send I'll think of = something.  Promise.

3. PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
I've applied to the MC Review list for national = reviews.  I filled out the
requested information and have yet to hear = back.  I assume I've been pending
for approximately two weeks as of this = writing.
Yahoogroups also went down last week and it's been = refusing to allow me to
add logs to the database.  Solution? I've = decided to hate Yahoo.  And what
would hate be without passion?  So I added that, = too.  If the devil existed
in anything, it would be Yahoo.

OVERVIEW

This report consists of the following sections:

1.  SUMMARY
2.  OUTSTANDING ISSUES
3.  CURRENT ISSUES
4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS
5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
6.  INDEPENDENT REPORT

1.  SUMMARY

SWRE is in Las Vegas and pre-reg is already going = well. Working with
the National Council for PR and Events to promote it = at upcoming
regional events- but the buzz is already great for = the event.

Have been approached by Arizona to submit a bid for = 2003 already.

2.  OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Money from Shannon from the LA Ball- Shawn did you = get this yet?
Prestige audit for the 2000 LA Ball- status?

~~~~~RC Note: I've put Mica on the task of the 2000 LA = Ball, SWRE awards
clean up~~~~~

3.  CURRENT PROJECTS

SWRE 2003 Bids, when is a good time to announce? I am = thinking right
after SWRE 2002 so people are pumped and get an idea = of what they are
getting themselves into. On the other hand - if we = get a 2003 place set
now- they can shadow the 2002 team to see how it's = run and learn from
their triumphs and problems.

~~~~~RC note: I would say go ahead and start accepting = bids..those who place
bids or are considering placing bids should prolly = volunteer to be a part of
the event staff in some way i.e. security, character = check-in, registration
table, etc.  that way they get a feel for how = events run and whether or not
they want to host it.~~~~~

4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS

I really think the pre-reg needs to be changed. I = think there needs to
be more incentive from the last pre-reg price to the = 'at the door'
price ($30 last pre-reg, $45 at the door). However, = changing it at this
time might be a problem since it's already been = posted.

Who is updating the SW regional website now that = Kimiko is gone?
Anyone?

~~~~~RC note:  No one is currently updating the = site.it will remain up for
the time being, but will not be updated.  I = should be putting out a call for
a webperson soon~~~~~

5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS

We need to pick a charity for the SWRE and any events = to support it.
Did we decide on a regional charity to support or are = we letting the
local Vegas team pick the charity?

~~~~~RC note:  I will mostly leave that up to you = to decide, I don't mind
either way. but if we go for multiple charities, then = there is one I would
really really like to see donated to...~~~~~

I think that the Carn-Evil that was run by Russ Ingram = was really cool
at ICC and fun, while working with the Sin City = Theme. Possibly a
Casino Night (since it's a casino) with fake money, = but the buy in is
real ($5 for $5,000 in play money) with the proceeds = to go to charity.
Any suggestions?

~~~~~I love that idea!  Feel free to run with it. = ~~~~~
