The regular monthly meeting of Solvitur Ambulando was held on Friday, February 13th 2009.  The meeting was well attended.

There was no old business to discuss.

New business – A motion was made that the society create a donation box to help off-set the cost of refreshments at our meeting.  Up until now, the person hosting the talk has traditionally provided refreshments.  The motion was passed.  This means that the person hosting the talk will continue to provide light refreshments, but a fund will help to reimburse them for out of pocket costs.  In the event that the fund builds a surplus, the group will vote on how best to spend the money.

Bro. Michael Wamback offered to search out a suitable container to use as a donation box.

Bro. Craig Kamp offered to provide a guest lecturer from the Rosicrucian Fellowship at our first open meeting.  Discussion took place as to the desire to have a guest lecturer.  A motion was made and passed that we book the speaker from the Rosicrucian Fellowship.  Michael will coordinate with Craig to arrange a date.

Bro. Michael then reviewed the calendar for upcoming speakers.  Our dates for the remainder of the year are filling up.

Bro. Michael also asked members to consider a destination for our annual field-trip in August.  Last year, the society visited the Griffith Observatory and had a very enjoyable time.

There being no other business, the meeting was turned over to Sister Krista Schwimmer and Brother Guy Churchouse III for their talk on the Virute of Truth.

Sister Krista gave a wonderful talk on the Eastern Buddhistic beliefs concerning truth.  Her talk was followed by a question and answer session that was very entertaining.  Brother Guy then took the floor and presented the views on truth from the Western Philosophical schools of thought.  Another round of discussion took place following Guy’s entertaining and insightful presentation.

There being now other business, the meeting adjourned and fellowship followed.
