 XII.    New Business:

 a.  MOTION 20101113:01. The Board approve making a donation to College of the Canyon’s     ASL/Interpreter club in the amount of $100. Rationale: in appreciation for hosting SCRID for BOD meeting and workshop.M/S Taylor/Crow.  Call for discussion.  None.  Vote called.  4/0/0.  Motion passes.

 b.  Patty Drasin – The geographic area that SCRID has to serve is huge.  With the understanding that California already has five affiliate chapters, I would like to open a discussion about dividing SCRID.  Discussion: We need to send a letter to National justifying why we want to split.  It is easier for people to be vested if it is more local to them.  Some alternate ideas might be taking advantage of technology.  We could use the colleges that have distance capabilities for meetings, workshops, and Board meetings.  There is also the fact Arizona has one AC. RID has told them they cannot split.  RID does not want to hear about splits, but maybe we could look at redistricting.

 XIII.    Announcements

 XIV.    Adjourn.  With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:27 a.m.
