New Business: 

A.  Review By-law Changes

Nancy moved that the $25.00 annual membership fee be increased to $100.00 a year.  An associate church membership will remain $25.00 and have reduced camping rates but without voting privileges.  There will be two annual meetings rather than four, both requiring mandatory attendance by either the camp representative or a church member in their stay.  Strong recommendations were made that all churches become involved in at least one work day each year.  This policy is to become effective in 2009.  Stephanie seconded this motion.  Discussion followed.  Motion passed unanimously.

 

B.  Mandatory Dean’s Meeting

Jason Lowery moved that there be a mandatory Dean’s Meeting before the General Board Meeting on April 15th so that all deans would meet Randy Nash and know his expectations.  David Tucker seconded the motion.  Motion passed unanimously.

 

C.  Nomination Committee

Randy will prepare 2008 Summer Camp Packets for all deans.  The packet will contain information and instructions on teen training, calendar of dean meetings, and Randy’s desire for more direction, organization and focus prior to camp season.  Dean’s will know who the various churches are sending as teen volunteers prior to May 1st.

 

E.  Randy’s Thoughts

Randy briefly reviewed his 26 years of pulpit ministry and explained how Prayer Partners will be established at PVCC.  He expects all of us to pray for God’s camp daily.  He expects these “partnerings” to be extensions of our churches.  He wants there to be work days on March 8th, April 5th and May 3rd.  Randy’s cell phone number is (423)827-3127 and e-mail address is randynash@hotmail.com.
