What is our area of focus? The otherstanding committees all deal with very specific subjects,and then there’s us – “lifestyle,” kind of vague.The majority of our time is devoted to all our wonderfulclubs. We just approved club number 51, The FilipinianaClub. A lot of time was spent reviewing their charter andbylaws, and helping them get off to a good start. The clubscome to us when they want to revise their bylaws or holda special event, something open to the SCA community,not only club members. The clubs really keep us on ourtoes, and as a result, we have begun another round ofrevisions to the Chartered Club Guidelines & Rules.This year, for the first time, the standing committee chairsare meeting together, informally, to strengthen ourcommunication with each other and discuss topics thatoverlap. Committee members are attending othercommittee meetings as needed. We are striving to make iteasier for clubs and residents to navigate through thesystem.With the current lack of a restaurant on campus, the clubshave been inconvenienced by not having a caterer with aliquor license easily accessible for parties and events. Wedid some research and learned about the NV approvedAlcohol Awareness Course which certifies “pourers” toserve liquor. We then wrote a new Chartered ClubsActivities and Alcohol Policy, which was disseminated tothe clubs and will become an appendix to the CharteredClub Guidelines.Our two monthly meetings are open to the community.The second one in May will be Friday, May 11, at 9:00 a.m.PROPERTIES & GROUNDSNext Meeting: May 8, 2012, 10:00 a.m.Location: Arlington Room, Anthem CenterChairperson: Stan LenciContact Info: 702/953-5796 or sjlenci@att.netThe members of the Properties and GroundsCommittee (P&G) would like to welcome RoyMontambeau as our newest member.
