User:Kelly.natter/Minutes from Dec. 8, 2009 Mess Meeting

The mess was opened at 1335 by a motion from CDR Blackmon which was seconded by CAPT Haidvogel. Twenty-six members were present.

Vote made regarding future mess meetings - 20 voted in favor of having meetings at 1500 Thursdays at a regular interval (every 6 weeks, for instance).

One-hundred percent support for having the mess deposit half the cost of the dining out and be reimbursed by payment of checks by members.

One-hundred percent support for providing up to $600.00 from the mess to keep the cost per person down to $60.00, even if 50 people don't attend the Dining Out. If the money is not used, it will be returned to the mess.

The mess supported selling all CCG-1 items on E-bay (approved by JAG as appropriate means to sell gear) with price named as current agreed upon price for items. If the items do not sell in one week, they can be donated to appropriate agency.

It was decided that one of the CCG-1 plaques should be put in the I-bar with "That they may suck less" engraved in Latin.

The new format for the departing mat is a royal blue mat signed in a silver pen. It will be up to each member whether they have messages or just signatures.
