Floating Zendo Business Meeting, November 29, 2005,
8:15-9:30 pm
Members present:  Donnalynn, Carolyn, Angie, Ritu,
Wendy, Jane, and Dan

1.  Financial Status/Summary
Carolyn reviewed the financials from 9/1/05 through
11/29/05.  Expenses were $304, which consisted of rent
of Friend's House, Newsletters, and Material/Copying.
The income from Special Donations and Weekly Dana was
$503.  Our current balance is $3,252.07 and is more
money than the FZ has ever had.  Discussion followed
on spending money on a website and/or paying for
sesshin expenses to lower cost to individual
retreatants.

2.  Who will be "the People that keep the FZ afloat"
in 2006?
Donnalynn is resigning as Coordinator and Jane will
assume that position.
Carolyn will no longer be Treasurer and that position
is open.
Ritu will continue as Secretary.
Dan will continue as Webmaster.
Wendy will continue as Ino.

3.  August 2006 Sesshin Update
Jane researched potential locations and based on costs
and distance narrowed them down to 3 places:  Carmel
House of Prayer, Camp Double Bear, and Jikoji.  The
Carmel House of Prayer is on the coast and is a house
instead of a camp.  The group agreed that there were
pluses and minuses to both Camp Double Bear and
Jikoji, but they were generally equal as compared to
Carmel House.  Carmel House is a little further away
and a little more expensive.  However, we could use
the money in our account to offset the cost and people
may commit to going if it were further away.  Jane
will visit the Carmel House and we may need to meet
again on this issue before the next Business Meeting.

4.  Roundtable
Donnalynn and Jane will meet with Angie to develop a
calendar of FZ events for 2006.
