Old Business 
Stonybrook/Chrysalis Leadership Team Meeting
The two teams had an excellent meeting.  It provided each ministry to communicate needs and wants to each other.  It was agreed that the two leadership teams would meet on a biyearly basis, following each series of Flight/Journey's.  Stonybrook expressed their enthusiasm that Chrysalis is a part of their church, and likewise Chrysalis expressed their thankfulness for the partnership.  It was determined that Chrysalis would have opportunity on Sunday, October 12 to Honor Stonybrook as requested.

Technology Needs
 Stonybrook agreed to continue to supply Chrysalis with sound equipment to use during the weekend.  It was agreed we would discontinue use of the main sound system in Wesley Hall and use a smaller sound system while allowing the Media Director the opportunity to sit at the back table to operate and control the volume during the events of the weekend.  Chrysalis will begin using their own equipment for Power Point presentations.

Honoring Stonybrook
· Bulletin Insert: Has been written and needs a few blanks of information completed.
· Testimonies: Ronda Dartt will arrange testimonies of youth from Stonybrook to be prepared to testify on the Sunday Morning.
· Plaque:  Instead of a plaque it was suggested a 'Shadow Box' be created with a picture of the church with the Chrysalis Logo superimposed, with a statement of gratitude from Chrysalis.  Additionally, a piece of agape be created to give to each of the attendees that day.  Ideas include a magnet with the same shadowbox picture on it, a crochet cross or a bookmark featuring the same design.
· Order of Service:  Ronda to introduce Chrysalis and those giving testimony.  Ron will then come and present the Shadowbox, Agape, and the monetary gift.
· Order of Service:  The Board should plan to meet at Stonybrook at 8:10AM

Fall Training
· Will take place November 1st
· It was decided to narrow our focus to music and media due to the time crunch and focus less on sponsorship and team roles.  At this time we will not have clown session but will possibly do another training day in March to focus on all areas.
· It was suggested to wrap-up the training day with performances of what was learned and/or a video montage?

Board Positions
· Steve and Valerie Smith have committed to serve as the Boy's/Girl's registrars
· The New Board members are being encouraged to start attending meetings in October in order to facilitate a smooth transition

Hoots
Katie is expressing interest in assisting Rob with the Hoots.  It is hopeful with the Hoot having youth involvement that they will be better attended.  Many of the Hoots in the past have been lightly attended and led primarily by adults.  It is the Board's desire to provide a meaningful time of reflection of their Chrysalis experience while providing an outlet for social interaction.
