DISCUSSION ON BEQUEST FUNDS
It was agreed after considerable airing of views and perspectives that Requests For Proposals (RFP's) would go out seeking interested parties to provide support for CDR's Legislative Committee, to oversee and carry out planning and coordination of State Council meetings, to research and develop membership outreach and growth and to take responsibility for editing, publishing and distributing New World. Any chapter, firm, organization or private individual who wishes to submit a proposal to carry out one or several of the above will be encouraged to submit a proposal.

NEXT MEETING
Chapter 32 Beach Wood will tentatively host the next meeting in Long Beach. It will be held in January, 1998. Details will be provided later.

[Editor's note: A notice of the date and place of the January State Council meeting appears elsewhere in this issue of New World]

ACCESS BROCHURE
Motion: The State Council authorizes the Treasurer to reimburse John Lonberg for $25.00. This will cover the cost for his five booklets, "Guidebook to Access Compliance."
M/S/C Peggy Eccleston / Thersa Metro
