Mrs. Singleton reported that they have met with John Brooke,
Labor Commission and have good infromation to be sent out to the
branches.
A motion was made by Mrs. Singleton to accept the Committees
reports. The motion was seconded by Mr. Alston and passed.
The 1991 Convention:
A meeting was held with the Burlington Branch. We have
addressed several concerns concerning the 1991 Convention that
is scheduled to be held in Burlington. The main issue which is
housing was reviewed. No alternate arrangements were available.
The hotel that had been contacted initially suddenly raised
their prices. Rooms that were $ 30.00 a night were going for
$ 68.00 a night. Also, they wanted to charge for the meeting
spaces which normally are donated. Ernestine Lewis, President
of the Burlington Branch conferenced with her vice president and
they decided to recommend that we find another location for the
1991 State Convention if possible because it would not be fair
to have the members to pay the kind of prices that were being
offered. The Executive Committee accepted her recommendation.
President Alexander suggested an alternative that might be
viable. The meeting might meet in Durham around NC Central
hosted by the Burlington, Caswell and Durham branches. Mrs.
Lewis said that this would be agreeable to her. A motion was
made by Skip Alston and seconded by Rev. Campbell for a move of
the site from Burlington to some other suitable location with a
continuity of Caswell and Alamance (Burlington) branches plus
whatever branch will co-host. We have not officially contacted
the Durham Branch. The motion passed.
