BOARD MEETING MINUTES: July 5, 2011
Minutes for Board Meeting of Missionary Independent Spiritual Church July 5, 2011, 3pm to 4:30pm PT, conference phone Present by phone conference call: Sindy Todo Fred Burke catherine yronwode nagasiva yronwode Briana Saussy is absent, yet spoke with catherine and provided her approval in absentia where it applied. ============================================================ 1. UPDATE FROM THE SECRETARY (Bishop nagasiva yronwode) nagasiva reports that the CSL books for Sindy were mailed; with the bank statements and phone bills. IRS has received and sent a form letter in response to our application for 501(c)(3) tax exemption indicating that they have received it. Sindy says it's premature to move to any sort of payroll, based on her knowledge and consult with a CPA, liable to complicate the application for tax exemption. We therefore decided to wait until we have that approval. We need to get our filing routinized (form 941?). Sales are a separate matter, which just require a CA resale license. For that, catherine (as President) needs to get a photo-ID (such as on her passport). This is also required for Banking Online for the church so that the Treasurer can more easily do business. ============================================================ 2. DISCUSSION/IDEAS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CRYSTAL SILENCE LEAGUE (Led by Bishop catherine yronwode) Prayer Requests processing needs to be initiated on the web site. catherine suggests that $200 be put toward this purpose from church funds; Fred volunteered time to work on it; all approved. Fred will provide the technical assistance if possible. The domain "crystalsilence.org" ought be toggled to roll over to crystalsilenceleague.org (auto-redirect). The username and password were received. nagasiva will attempt to arrange this. AIRR members should be advised that they may wish to be join the CSL. catherine will write a note to inform them that it's another Church committee, not affiliated with AIRR directly, but that there are overlaps. * It was mentioned that Susan Diamond has an online guest book for prayer requests. CSL needs to standardize the way of becoming a member (by purchasing a $5 book, which is otherwise free with any crystal ball (some of these only costing $1-$2, and therefore a minimum in expense. * Sindy brought up the idea of AIRR listing@ CSL @ http://crystalsilenceleague.org/associationofindependentreadersandrootworkers.html perhaps with a graphic of a crystal ball image with AIRR logo inside it for the AIRR page (linking to the RnR page). * Mention was made that AIRR members can have a link to CSL on their page at AIRR; FIX FOOTER ON ALL RELEVANT PAGES The Community Portal is another option for linkage: http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/Association_of_Independent_Readers_and_Rootworkers:Community_Portal Pro Bono work; prayer link from http://readersandrootworkers.org/wiki/Pro_Bono_Fund * Sindy's page last paragraph of text can read: "I am a founding organizer of the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers (AIRR). I am on the Board of Bishops for Missionary Independent Spiritual Church (MISC) as Treasurer. I was an early graduate of the Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Correspondence Course. {FRED WILL WORK ON WORDING.} "I am a member of the Crystal Silence League ((1)link to top page) and am ready to assist you spiritually if you leave a prayer request. I will pray on your behalf if you leave me a prayer request (2)link to prayer request page)." =================================================== 3.

These were both approved for affiliation without dissent. =================================================== 4. FAN FUND UPDATE Fan proofs are all but 1 turned in; all present agree that Fred can give approval based on proofs if he is satisfied with them; 1 away from being ready to move forward! =================================================== 5. AIRR Jeffrey Vanderson wants to join AIRR. Badgerwoman (Sherri Bean) is a transcriptionist and she offered to do transcription for members of AIRR to record their readings/rituals/lectures.
