A chapter meeting was scheduled this Saturday, July 14 at 4.30pm in 
Equad building: 

The following was the agenda: 


1. Marathon training program review. 
2. Shri. C. B. Naik's - Science on Wheels - visit (proposed date July 
28th). 
3. Work An Hour (WAH) publicity 
4. Asha Fellowship proposal - Sireesha from Timbaktu Collective, a 
social worker, working in the areas of women's issues. 


Present: Ravi, Sowmya, Kavitha, Sridhar, Vinay, Sumathi 


There were no formal discussions on the agenda topics due to lack of 
quorum. Sumathi, Vinay and Rahul joined little later. Sowmya discussed 
with Vinay about the treasurer activities since Sowmya volunteered to 
take the treasurer responsibility. Vinay handed over documents and 
material in his possession to Sowmya. Vinay provided treasurer related 
information to Sowmya. So, Sowmya took over treasurer responsibility 
from Vinay. Vinay also handed over Asha merchandise to Ravi (T-shirts, 
diyas, mugs). 


An informal discussion focused on the declining active volunteers at 
the chapter and its impact on our ability to support our project 
partners and provide our decisions on new proposals that would allow 
them to reach other potential sources. It was suggested that 
developing guidelines in counting the active volunteers that would 
help decide the quorum may help the situation. Vinay made a suggestion 
that chapter can consider virtual volunteers so that volunteers 
associated with Princeton chapter when they move out can participate 
in the chapter activities. There was another suggestion that two Asha 
chapters (Princeton and CNJ) in New Jersey  be merged into one to 
avoid problems faced by Princeton. 


Meeting ended with best wishes and good luck to Vinay, Sumathi and 
Rahul.
