Central San Joaquin Valley Chapter AORN
Central San Joaquin Valley Chapter
AORN
February 9, 2011
Attendants: See Attendance Roster.
Meeting called to order by Dawn at 1940.
Announcements:
Motion to approve minutes from last meeting made by Kris and seconded by Lydia. Motion passed.
Treasurer’s report:
Reported by Lydia Miller, Treasurer. Current checking account is a no interest earning account nor are there service charges.
Membership: 159
Nominating Committee:
Several positions are available for next year: 3 board, vice-president, president-elect, treasurer, nominating x 2. Cheryl and
Jill will work on the ballot, putting in a statement with description of each person who has agreed to run so that we might know
that person a little better, making it easier to vote. Ballots need to be sent out 30 days prior to voting; so there won’t be
time to have the elections at our spring conference this year. Voting will be announced at the April CE meeting. The ballots
can be sent back to the secretary, given to the hospital reps, or brought with you to the April meeting so that they can be
counted and announced that night.
Ways and Means:
Babes states she is still getting money for raffle prizes for the bowling tournament on February 26th. She needs people to
help work on that day. We should be there by 1200, and she will direct us where she needs help. We cannot bring food into the
bowling alley—we need to buy food there.
Education:
Cynthia Spry and Pose Seavy (speakers at our conference March 5th) are coming into Fresno on Friday before. AORN needs to pay for
their dinners that night. Plans are going well. Table decorations were discussed.
On March 9th, there is a board meeting only—no CE. We will meet at Guadalajara Restaurant at Willow and Nees at 6PM.
Scholarship
There are two possible candidates. They need to get their applications in before April 1, 2011.
Legislative:
The February meeting was held in Oakland. Dawn and Tonya went. Several of the national officers came. They are still
talking about the nurses float for 2013. They have secured a builder and designer for the float. Twelve people will be
able to ride on the float. Dawn will email the minutes from this meeting to all of us, as there is lots of information
for us. We will discuss this more at the March board meeting. The next meeting for ORNCC is April 30th in Ontario.
(Someone had a conflict for May.)
Website:
Lydia emailed Carl who was out of town; so she got no further with information from him. Lydia will put the minutes on
the website for us, minus the amount in our treasury.
Congress:
If any of us has any questions for Dawn or Tonya to take to national, send an email to them.
New / Old Business: None.
Meeting adjourned at 2040.
Respectfully submitted:
Carol Wacker, Secretary

Nominating Committee:
All three of our members of this committee will finish their terms this year. We are not sure how this happened!
Ways and Means:
Wine tasting / Fun trip — Terri has checked with AAA auto club. Murphys, California has several wineries that are within
walking distance in town, plus the shopping, spas, and good eating. The town is open 10A to 5P this fall. There are VIP discount
tickets available for groups to use. Terri will get some and have them available for the trip. It was decided to schedule the trip on
October 23rd. Kris reported that buses are available on that day. Classic Charter is the company that will provide the bus or buses
for us. They have a 10 hour minimum that is $865 for 47 passengers. There is also a 12 hour minimum for $1000 per bus. Kris will need
to put down a $150 deposit and the rest is due 2 weeks prior to the trip.
We will leave Fresno from the parking lot of Central California Endoscopy Center at 7055 N. Fresno St at 8AM sharp and return to
there at 8PM. The cost will be $30 per person which will include the bus ride and snacks and beverages on the bus. Kris will make the
fliers and distribute them to the facilities. Tickets will be sold through Kris.
Fund Raiser:
Kris reported that she had a negative response from the donor at Childrens for the week-end Tahoe trip that was to be one of the
raffle items. We will still work on this. Prices for the raffle will be determined when we know what raffle items we have. Kris
will check with Me and Eds to see if we might attach our raffle tickets to their discount tickets. Any ideas are welcome!!
Education:
The new year’s education calendar is published. There are several interesting sessions planned. George Luena announced that CCSA is
having a ½ day workshop on 12/4/10 at CRMC. He will give us more information later.
Our workshop that is scheduled for March 5th, 2011 is coming together well. Cynthia Spry and Rose Seavy have been confirmed to speak,
as well as two more. We are waiting on the fifth speaker to confirm. Topics include infection control, patient safety, practice and
professionalism, communication, and documentation. Childrens Hospital will provide rooms for us again this year. Vendors will have
a larger space to provide us information, and they have shown increased interest so far. Rhonda will put iformation on Facebook. We
need to publicize this statewide. Information will also be put on ORNCC webiste as well as our website. Price of the workshop will
be determined later.
Scholarship deadline is November 1, 2010. No applicants as of yet.
Legislative:
The ORNCC meetings are set—October 16th in Irvine, February 5th in Oakland, and May 15th in Ontario. Tonya will be our
representative. Dawn is already an officer for ORNCC.
Website:
Our cost for the website is A) domain which is paid every 2 years and B) worker on the website who accesses the site to load
information for us onto the website. Lydia stated that it is expensive. We are going to see if we can change things so that
it is cheaper. Dawn and Tonya will seek information at their work.
Old Business:
None.
New Business:
Open House will be at SPOC again this year. Rhonda has confirmed that. All Community Calendars have already been notified, and
fliers have been sent to the high schools. Radio stations still need to be notified. Babes has volunteered to help with publicity.
The flyer will be made and will be on the website, also. We will have the same rooms as last year plus a Teddy Bear room where the
little kids can bring in their “injured” stuffed animals, and we will repair them. We will need thread, patches, Coban, needles,
etc for this room. We may also add a Neuro room. The committee will be set up by Rhonda and will meet before the next meeting.
Community Service: Tonya made a motion to donate $250 in honor of Dr. Steve Parks to the Trauma Research Foundation of Fresno at
CRMC. Rhonda seconded the motion. The vote was passed unanimously. Lydia made out the check, and George will deliver it.
George moved to make all of our community service projects local to give back to our community. Sharon seconded it. Vote passed.
Christy Wood has resigned as Historian for our group. Everyone will take her place—any pictures that you have, we need to get them on
discs so that they can be used at functions that we have. Christy apparently has hard copies of pictures that she took, but there is
no way to get them onto discs at this point. Thank you, Christy, for doing all that you have in the past!
There has been an amended letter for AORN to give out when we get donations for the various functions that we have. This is a draft
at this point; so any suggestions that you might have, you may email Kris.
A thank you will be sent to Joyce Halt for donating the wonderful truffles for this meeting. Our winner for the poster of “What is
Wrong with this Picture?” was Cindy.
Nice going Cindy!! She received truffles as a prize.
Congress:
We will send 5 people from our group to Congress in Philadelphia in March. The top 5 people are as follows: Kris, Dawn, Rhonda,
Mary Jane, and Terri. Rhonda has already indicated that she cannot go this year; so Lydia is next in line. Please let Dawn know
by the next meeting, October 13th, whether you can go so that we can get plans made.
Meeting adjourned at 2025 by Dawn
Respectfully submitted:
Carol Wacker, Secretary
