COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Bill Pearce will pursue this to line up programs for October and November.

•      Planning Retreat for 2003:

Barbara Barden gave the following suggestions:

Winthrop University — There is a fee with box lunch.

Merrywood - This would be free with possibly a box lunch.

Family Center Camp - Near Lancaster. There is a $35.00 fee and we would

bring food.

It was  agreed that we would try Merrywood. The date will be Friday, November 8th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

 

Barbara Barden said there are new insurance requirements for van drivers. They will be required to:

1.   Obtain a Commercial Drivers License or,

2.   Obtain a Chauffeur’s License or

3.   Complete an “on-line” Defensive Driving Course satisfactorily. This would be the easiest for us to accomplish and to get volunteers to complete.

 

She has a list of drivers that she will update. There may be other options such as replacing the vans with mini-buses or considering charter service for some events. The date for compliance is now 12/3 1/02. She has asked for a one-year extension.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
