Old Business
New Business
- There was a motion made to create a Far East Chapter. The motion was seconded. There was discussion made about the location of the chapter, and it was decided that it would be in Hamburg, Germany. There was a point brought up that to create a new chapter, the motion would have to go in the Elogam 10 days prior to the meeting, along with a 2/3 vote of all members present at the meeting. Thus, the motion was tabled.
- There was a motion made to make a flap to use at Dixie. There was a second to the motion. After discussion, the vote passed. Subsequently, there was a Division of Assembly called by the Lodge Chief. The results of the Division of Assembly were 2 to 3, with the motion failing.
