Kerrville, TX - April 20, 2020. Welcome to the ABC Format that saves you time and effort by organizing what I want you to do first versus what I want you to know, in this order: Action, Background, Conclusion. This document will give you additional information concerning TLC's Annual Board Meeting, which will be held in-person and virtually, at your option. (Note: the traditional Board Meeting has been condensed and the standing committees will not meet (unless scheduled for virtual meetings prior the weekend) nor will chairman meet with the Executive Committee. Lastly, the elected directors will not meet during the weekend (but will meet virtually at a later date).

Background

Dear friends and TLC family: I call you friends and family because that is what you are to me as a result of our history together that spans more than 30 years (and some of you predate me with your care of Texas Lions Camp). I am writing today to provide you additional information and procedures for TLC's Annual Meeting.

The year 2020 has challenged each of us in ways we had no idea it would and that is true for our beloved organization too! I have often thought that one of the greatest gifts God has bestowed is the withholding of the foreknowledge of the adverbs associated with our future and if you think about this year or some of your own past life's events, you will know this to be true. What I also know about God, is that He has perfect timing and has equipped us with excellence to deal with the times and seasons at hand, also one of the greatest gifts He continually provides as we join Him in His work.

In April of this year, the ExComm and I made the gut-wrenching decision not to open residential camping services to children as all are presumed to have co-morbidity and/or compromised immune systems or the possibility that they could return from camp to a family member who does. Admittedly, this describes many of you as well. To the extent that you believe you might bring a contagion with you to Kerrville or are fearful that you might take one home with you as a result of travel to Texas Lions Camp then STAY HOME with my blessing. Another fact that we are going to have to square with, is the likelihood that CV-19 is going to be with us for sometime and we are going to have to learn to operate in spite of it.

The Executive Committee and I have devised a safety plan, that will be strictly enforced for those who feel comfortable with the manner in which things will operate and would like to attend the golf tournament and/or other events in person. Moreover, now that I have advised you of the officially recognized procedure, your attendance in person signifies your agreement to discharge that procedure in harmony with your legal duties of care and obedience to TLC as a board member. For those who choose not to attend in person, please plan to join us virtually. I am currently devising systems that will allow your virtual attendance, check-in, discussion and voting privileges to occur without your being physically present, so long as you are virtually present at the time of voting.

The importance of our annual meeting cannot be overstated. The entire next year is in fact predicated upon the decisions made with this agenda and without it, our governance structure will not have exercised one of its most important roles: to limit. Some of the more important agenda items we will undertake, include but are not limited to:

In either case, whether attending in person or virtually, there are a number of things you can expect from me from now until showtime in order to prepare for the meeting. For those who have served in year's prior, much of this equates to what you typically would have received by mail, which will be provided this year digitally and by internet only:
