[Joel Faircloth]

NC EMS & Rescue Convention.
Beaufort, NC. November 22, 2019.

Meeting called to order by President Stephanie Lassiter.
Devotion and prayer by Vice President Betsy Prince.
Treasurer Report for 10/31/2019: $7,427.27.

We had a memorial for the members that had passed during the last year. By Vice President Betsy Prince, a candle was lit for each one. Melva Thompson ended the memorial by playing the song, I Want to Stroll Over Heaven With You.

Rollcall: Fremont 7; Tabor City 3. Two were Area Directors.

We have been making a Cancer Box each year. It was brought up to change the name from Cancer Box to Walda Talton Treat Box. She was an Auxiliary member and Area Director for years.

The box goes to a cancer center. This year it was taken by Lorrie Lancaster to Tidelin Cancer Center at Myrtle Beach. This is where Lorrie’s son, Zack, goes for his doctor appointments and treatments.

Motion was made by Lorrie Lancaster for us to have a blood drive next year. Seconded by Ronnie Warrick.

Things were changed this year because of the storm that hit in September. It was a one day event; everything went well.

It was discussion about associated members holding Officer position. The way our constitution is, you cannot. Lorrie Lancaster proposed in the Constitution Article 2, Section 1, and Article 4, Sections 1 and 2. Melva Thompson will speak to Joel Faircloth about this, and bring it back to Directors Meeting.

Lorrie Lancaster wants us to check on having a place for the children to play during our meeting. Maybe some blow up items. This was not voted on.

Ronnie Warrick and Mike Worley said to get your stuff in by deadline for Convention.

Added Notes:

We had a great meal before the awards ceremony.

The way it stands now, we will be back in Beaufort for the next two years.
September 2020: 10th-12th; September 2021: 9th-11th. Mark these dates on you calendar.

Melva Thompson,
Secretary & Treasurer.
