2) made a motion for the Section to obtain a PO Box for all Section mail and keys distributed to Bob, Alan, Jeff, Theodora and Jean Eason.
We are constantly having problems with bills, etc., not being received on a timely basis, especially each year during the officer transition. Jeff volunteered to get a PO Box close to his home (where he currently has his own personal POB) and check it regularly and forward mail as appropriate.
Bob Geisel 2nd the motion, and the motion passed with a 100% vote of the ExCom. (note, the PO Box was secured 11/7/97)
