V. Board Member Reports
A Lay Director: Shirley has spoken to Liz DiSimoni-Women’s Weekend Coordinator for the fall. Liz
expressed that she has her team and their first meeting will be on July 29.
Shirley asked Phyllis if Deacon Fred would ask Marie Powell, Ft. Hood, for additional money for the week.
Phyllis said that Deacon Fred had asked Ft. Hood for additional money and Cursillo would receive $500.00
instead of $400.00. Phyllis also said that because Mike Kirkland’s freezer had broken and all the food
was spoiled to include the Men’s Weekend food she made the following motion: That Cursillo provides
an additional $100.00 for the Men’s Fall Weekend for food supplies. It was seconded by Orie Sanchez.
Discussion-the money would be taken out of Cursillo’s checking account and the $100.00 would be given
in cash to Mike. Voted and approved.
B. Assistant Lay Director: Nyrma told the board that she would be in Puerto Rico for vacation for the
Aug 4, 2007 Board Meeting. After discussion it was agreed that Nyrma, Liz DiSimoni, and Orie will go on
July 23 to Elk to do full inventory. Phyllis suggested that perishable items should not be stored, i.e.
marshmallows, brown sugar, or even the sternos. Shirley will call Liz at Elk to make sure it is okay. Nyrma
asked about the Clergy garments. The board said they could be cleaned but to wait until close to the
weekend. Nyrma stated that she keeps them at home. She also said that we have three plastic boxes for
the chafing dishes and two sets of table linen.
C. Secretary: Orie presented the board with two documents to be adopted. One was a composed letter
to Cursillitas to help update the roster and information for Team Coordinators. The other document is to
be used by the Kitchen team as an Action report attached to the financial report of the weekend. It is to
be given to the Board with a copy of the inventory to the Assistant Lay Director. Orie also showed the
board a Postage Record to be kept in the Secretary’s book to show accountability of how the postage is
being used. Orie also accepted $8.00 from Nyrma to buy a book of stamps to be added for the letters that
we will be sending out.
D. Financial Secretary: Cynthia passed out the financial report. Shirley made a motion to accept the
report. Nyrma seconded it. Discussion- no corrections or additions. Voted and approved.
E Pre-Cursillo Coordinator- Absent
F Post-Cursillo Coordinator- John is still looking for a place for the picnic. Phyllis thought we had
cancelled it, but John said that at the June Ultreya people voted to do the picnic and the clean up at Elk.
Orie said her prayer groups would donate all paper products. Nyrma said that her husband would donate
the dinner plates and dessert plates. She would check about the cups. We will buy the plastic utensils.
He is also working on the activities for the day. He will send out an email asking prayer groups to
volunteer to organize or mandate the activities. Picnic is on Sept 16. He has already sent the email
announcing the July Ultreya. Phyllis said that she has a lot of prizes for the event. Some of the places
suggested were: 58th Street Chapel and Long Branch Park. If we have it at Long Branch we need it by a
tree so that the bouncing equipment can be set up. Will have more information for the next meeting.
G Outside Palanca Coordinator- Phyllis reported that she continues to send out Palanca letters. No
letters will be sent in July and August because usually no weekends are helded during these months.
She is excited about the door prizes she has acquired for the picnic.
H. Spiritual Director: Absent
VI New Business:
Clean Up at Elk. While Nyrma and company go out to Elk to do inventory, they will also take pictures and
report back of damages they see that will need to be cleaned up and repaired. After the Assessment,
discussion, and list of things that need to be done, it will be presented to Liz at Elk for her approval.
Once approved Shirley would like to have committees of men and women to organize the project. We
shoot for Sept 1 and Phyllis and Nyrma have volunteered to cook. We will make sure to know how many
sign up so that they can prepare enough food.
Next board meeting will be on Friday, Aug 3 at 6pm. Place to be arranged.
Being no further business Orie Sanchez closed with prayer at 7:50 pm
