> Subject: [SWR CAVERS] BOG Agenda Item 6-Tell your BOG to Vote NO
>
> Hello SWR,
>
> You need to know about this. On the Monday Morning BOG agenda they will vote
> on the motion below.
> Please talk to your Directors and Officers before the Monday morning vote and
> request that each BOG member votes “NO!” on Agenda Item 6.
> Please forward this to other list serves. You can contact your Directors and
> Officers even if you are not going to the 2017 Convention.
> Let your leaders hear from you!
> e...@caves.org+direct...@caves.org=b...@caves.org
> … and yes, there are several BOG members on the SWR list. If you reply to
> this list, several will see your reply.
>
> Agenda Item 6 “Convention Beverages” is about restricting when alcoholic
> beverages can be served during the Conventions. You are the representatives
> of the membership. You are my representative. Please vote “NO” on agenda
> item 6.
>
> This motion is another unnecessary burden to future Convention committees.
> It is another unnecessary, and unwanted requirement.
>
> The motion is below. The “Note:” below the motion will not be included in
> the Acts of the Board. It is only there to sway your vote.
>
> Minimally, I am asking you, my Directors, to amend the motion to remove the
> sentence “No other alcoholic beverages will be provided.”
>
> Example: There was a Convention (I was there) where not all of the beer was
> consumed at the previous night’s gathering. The following day the remaining
> beer kegs were trailered through the campground and pitchers were used to
> fill campers’ containers. It was a memorable and unexpected perk that was
> very much appreciated. If this motion passes, enjoyable, spontaneous events
> cannot happen.

> 6) Convention Beverages
>
> Shrewsbury moves: The annual NSS Convention is permitted, once legal permits
> and permission has been obtained for that area, to serve beer at the Howdy
> Party and the Campground party. Additionally, wine may be served at the
> Fellows/New Members reception, Auction night, and the NSS Awards Banquet. No
> other alcoholic beverages will be provided. Adequate alternatives, such as
> soft drinks, tea, and water will also be provided at these events.
>
>
>
> Note: While the Board has discussed this on a prior occasion, other than
> voting down the “no alcohol at all” motion on the floor at that time, the
> Board has not codified what is acceptable. This motion is not designed to set
> a new precedent, but to codify our understanding of the Board’s decision.
