After lunch, the GC meeting was called to order by President Pat St. Peter. Various reports were presented, including a review of RISE. Proceeds from the movie were more than $200,000 for the Memorial Fund -- that along with increased donations over the first quarter of the year put donations through March at over $400,000. This is about 4 times more than the full 2010 year. They also talked about the release of the DVD coming in Fall.
Most of the proposed rule changes were approved by the Board of Directors. Governing Council delagates may isolate any items they wish to discuss and have voted on by the GC as a whole. A number of items were isolated. Items not isolated and discussed are considered approved by all at the conclusion of Governing Council. (Delegates may still isolate items tomorrow if anyone missed anything today).
We began with review of the bylaws changes which are required to be voted on by all delegates (not the Board). All proposed bylaws changes passed. We then began the discussion of the rule changes. A few items were discussed and voted on before we broke today, including approval of the changes to the Adult MIF as they were submitted.
We have much more to discuss tomorrow, including the proposed changes to the Junior National structure and changes to the well balanced program requirements. After breaking for the evening many delegates stayed for a reshowing of the movie RISE. Tonight, many are attending a dinner put on by the Athletes Committee, which serves as a fundraiser for them.
