            2pm – coop matters, esp. benefits (Eddie), short PMES (Jun Abestros)
            3pm – election of coop officers (interim/temp. only… until January 2014).
                        Once registered with the CDA in 2014, these officers will become
                           permanent until the next election, as provided in our CBL.

                        cash on hand (P20 as exsem + 100 coop reg. + 300 initial cap.share)
                        Free time…..fellowship…..

3)      EXCCO (exseminarians’ credit cooperative)
-          Services: credit & savings only for a start
-          Initial purpose: camaraderie (the coop giving us reason to see each other)
-          In the long run: exsems given a chance to “help and/or be helped”
-          Documents 100% complete, but will be turned over to CDA for reg. 2014
-          Eddie will prepare a brief outline to focus only coop’s benefits (less than 30 minutes only) in order to attract more and more exsems to join/registration on Nov. 30, then will follow immediately a short PMES by Jun Abestros.

4)      Other matters:
-          Addressing Fr. Max’s observations, only very few exsems involved in the 2 previous activities. Next time, they should organize activities only for exsems without bothering the parishes or other groups to participate, nor asking for their support and assistance. So in order to generate significant results, more and more exsems should participate, acc.to Fr. Max (something like “if exsems want to organize activities in order to help the seminary, just help, but don’t ask the seminary or the parishes to help in your activities”) – surely this is a valid observation, and a big challenge for all exsems in davao region.
-          Proposed “XMAS DINNER FOR A CAUSE” only for exsems….to be further discussed in the next weekly meetings and decided before Nov. 30 – an activity still for XACOSE fundraising purposes.
-          Next year’s funrun3 (iRUN FOR PRIESTHOOD3) should be participated more by exsems (80% or more), no more requesting for parishes’ participation or seminary/archdiocese’s support.
-          Activities like funrun, soli in cash or in kind, etc….all roads leading to GSIS
for the Bohol earthquake victims will be done on individual exsems basis.
-          Diony asking how to recover our P12K cost of the video coverage, suggesting that we’ll try to promote and sell the CD-video coverage of DP concert, also containing bits of seminary information – this will be further taken up in the next meeting 6pm Nov.8 Friday at Emcor.
-          (pahabol-suggestion) a Timekeeper must be assigned for Nov.30, to strictly enforce time observance, otherwise some impt. Agenda will not be taken up.
There being no other matters discussed, the meeting adjourned at 8:15pm.

Note: just in case, something impt. is missing/overlooked/etc., please add/edit.
