  1 - Discord Virtual Meeting - May 9, 2020 - Attendance and collaborative discussion - 7 attendees
Summary of Virtual Meeting:
* Those who attended are V.Adm Wilson, Cpt Guill, Cpt Cook, Lt V. Stout. Lt E. Stout, Lt Wilson, and Ens Richardson; I know I did not express it then, but I appreciate each of you making the effort to log in and share your two cents.
* Review of April's failed Virtual Meeting
* Division Reports
** Command - No news is good news - continue community charity support, continue filing MCAR reports
** Operations - Till balance unknown, but $***.** is to be added when possible from recycling and donations collected by Cpt Guill. V. Adm Wilson has more recycling to contribute, but due to lockdown has not been able to get it to Cpt Guill.
** Communications - Little has been heard from LTJG Niss - though website has been running without fault since moving to the new host location. V.Adm Wilson invites crew to puruse the site at: http://ussfirelace.org/ at your leisure. V.Adm Wilson also invites you to the Discord App link below) to have continuous access to crew members.
** Sciences - nothing reported, recommend staying tuned to developing situations concerning C-19, CSO Lt V. Stout also reports that she is aware that NASA is preparing to start launching a crew into space (again) and are making preparations for that as soon as 2021
* Away Missions
** Virtual Gatherings (100% optional - no announcements will be made)
*** 'End of May' - Star Wars Day online/FB Live
** Oct
*** Oct 2 - ProRodeo (PRCA Rodeo) - AV Fairgrounds [$7 parking, admission TBA]
*** Oct 30 - WhedonCon 2020 - Hilton LA Airport - pending Stage 3 achievement
** Nov
*** Nov 7 - Walk for Alzheimer's - LA Zoo [Free parking, free admission into zoo during walk]

* Random Converstations
** Virtual Meetings could be held on Discord, Zoom, Skype, Facebook Group, and/or Google Meeting in the future.
** For Distance Members - it is my intention to provide online 'phone in' access to physical meetings whenever possible
** For Local Members - During summer meetings, LTJG Niss and Lt Leland have offered to be a meet-up point prior to meetings at the V.Adm's ranch in the spring/summer months, from there organizing as few cars as possible to shuttle people to the ranch. Parking is NOT an issue, but I am aware gas prices can be prohibitive. Overnight guests will be allowed on the weekends of each meeting (there is plenty of space for several tents) just be advised there are snakes in the area that could be venomous.
** Physical meetings will resume when our CMO gives his agreement that it is safe to do so. I am watching the progress of reopening California, but I am also cognizant of exposure risks for those with existing health issues, for that reason I will rely on our CMO to lift our chapter restrictions.

Stardate [-26] 00160.00 - Captain's Personal Log

Okay, I gotta vent here..before I say something I'll regret at the next meeting. And of everyone, those who are farthest out are exempt for the obvious (at least to me) reasons; as well as those already CERTefied (like Larson, though he could have taken the course as a refresher).
You know, everyone was complaining just two months ago that we don't do anything towards making the community better. Just two months ago everyone was rather loudly objecting to go-no-where meetings month after month; fantom goals that we're supposed to achieve, but never really do because of a lack of opportunity. These last two weeks I've flooded emails with CERT Training opportunities. Even our youngest ensign, who has not attended a single meeting, commented on this today. I emailed and I posted on FB and on Spacebook and had LtJG Niss send out messages regarding the upcoming training session. Yet, who showed up? Myself, my kids, and Katie; and no one else. There are a few people I can excuse for lack of transportation or distance. But I don't want to hear another blasted word about how nothing is ever planned to help us better our community when no one else bothers to show up. To say I'm disappointed would be a severe understatement. I'm offended/hurt/insulted/angry/disappointed (yes, all of them) that so many got so 'heated' during the meeting about our chapter not doing more, and then refuse TO DO MORE! With a few exceptions, I'm disappointed in my chapter as a whole.

Additional Comments
Nathan Hale and Ulysses are discussing the transfer request initiated by James Sexton, who feels Joseph is 'lacking' in his command position. Sexton has a serious chip on shoulder over Allen Hohensee's departure, and may not be a member of the Federation in the future. I know we're not really hurting for members, but I am trying to persuade him to stay - or at least to not let Allen be the reason he leaves.
