Sounds like fun! We will not be able to attend...guests visiting for the week.

Take care!

See you there!

Sorry for the slow response. Outside painting.. Each member is responsible for communicating with the secretary (me) in writing with details of their participation. I will confirm participation upon receipt. I will continuely review participation levels of swabbies and communicate with Lisa, our swabbie coordinator, if I see a potential member struggling to find ways to participate or not participating at all, I will speak with Lisa. She will council them and help them find ways to participate or steer them toward the appropriate membership level The goal is to make sure swabbies start off with a clear understanding of what core membership requires and we don't wait until they come up for vote in 9 months to review their participation or help them succeed. Core members will also be responsible for communicating participation in writing. A similar process will take place. The Captain and Quartermaster will be notified of ZERO participation. The quartermaster will speak with them to find out why they are not participating and speak with them about the different levels of membership and help them find the appropriate level that fits their situation. Each situation will be handled privately and with discretion. The goal is also to help members succeed at a level that suits their lifestyle, priorities and personal commitments. There is no shame in changing your membership. The Bylaw is not intended to eliminate members. Just help them evaluate if core membership is the right path for them. If they disagree with their participation record they may request a meeting of review and have an opportunity to speak on their behalf. I am not 100% sure but it is my understanding that officers will meet and determine if their claim is valid or to review unexpected circumstances such as illness, family hardship or any other circumstances beyond their control that made it difficult for them to participate prior to revoking their right to vote. The most important part if the process is to help members of all levels succeed, find the right place for them, and allow the Krewe to build a group of core members that fit the requirements. I hope this answers your questions. If you wish to speak in person give me call or we can meet to discuss innperson.

The document is posted and available for everyone to read. Thanks Lisa for answering the questions to your best recollection. It is not your responsibility to verify the facts. Each member has access to the document and can verify the facts. Please read the documents prior to casting your vote.

I'm curious as to why these questions were not asked during the zoom meeting. This was every members opportunity to do so. Yet very few even spoke or asked questions.

Let me know if you need help doing an inventory of the trailer. Then you can present a report of its contents and we can determine what size and type of storage will be required.

Thank you Cathy. If you have not met Cathy at one of our socials or the Casino Night she is a swabbie. Her willingness to participate even though she is not yet a core member is appreciated and commended.

Thank you Captain. I believe this is a simple solution..but, once again you are taking on more responsibility. In situations such as this I believe it should be customary for the prior First Mate to mentor. Not add more to the Captains list.

Agree. ...we need someone capable to fill this position. I believe Phyllis is more than capable. Unfortunately, lack of core member participation puts in situations like this. Phyllis has my vote of confidence regardless of her status.

As we grow we learn and it is essential to adapt. We are a success because of our ability to do so!!

Sounds like a great idea. Not sure but we might be the first Pirate Krewe to do so.

Thank you for taking on this task.

Sounds like the logical thing to do.

This is a great little event..we will definitely be there!

Thank you for the update! So happy to her they are doing well. Nice job to everyone in the Krewe!

Hot..hot...hot.
