I was participating via the Zoom format so this will be a very limited report!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the general meeting today, especially Paul, who made it possible for me to understand, in part, what was being said by transcribing and interpreting comments!  Sorry I missed a lot (most) of the comments due to difficulty in hearing and understanding the words.  I think the acoustics in the room are not very good for the Zoom format.  Hopefully a solution can be found if we have future meetings in this way.  In all, I think it was an interesting experiment and a step forward in new Subud technology, although maybe not new in the rest of the world!

From what I could hear and understand, the meeting went smoothly and proceeded with the selection of a new (old) chair, Jim O’Halloran and vice-chair, Ramon.  Congratulations Jim and Ramon!  There were various reports and comments, most of which I could not hear or understand, but it all seemed to work out with good results in the end!   We agreed as a group to give money to SICA USA and Susila Dharma.  We managed to get through the testing in a relatively smooth and timely manner with mostly unanimous results.  We had a very thorough treasurer’s report from Oswald which hopefully will be included in the minutes.  Unfortunately, I was not able to hear or understand it but the impression I got was that we are doing okay!

Thanks to Jim, for being willing to continue as chair and thanks to Ramon for stepping up as

vice-chair!  Also, thanks to Annie for agreeing to take on the treasurer job and Alexa for her

willingness to serve on the committee!  Thanks to Elisha and Rayma for the very interesting

helper reports and to everyone else who contributed!

Regarding the Eastside latihan, it was decided to continue with the rental even though

attendance has been very minimal. Hopefully attendance will increase in 2022 with new

commitments from those who voted to continue the rental!

Thanks again,

Rachman
