Meeting Notes

Date: May 1st
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: Greenhill Community Center
# in Attendance: approx 130

With about 130 people in attendance, the first official Rutherford 912 meeting was a great success! The primary objective of these meetings is to share ideas and discuss action steps. Therefore, we had specific BreakOut Times, for people to talk amongst themselves and encourage one another. We also started a 912 Library, so that we can read books related to topics covered. There were presentations (based on the 9 Principles and 12 Values) on the following 4 Areas:

HOME: Wolf Seibler spoke about the "M&Ms" of passing our values on to our children and grandchildren: Mentoring and Modeling.

He even handed out free M&Ms, ensuring that he would be invited to speak at future meetings! :o)




LOCAL: Aaron Hutchinson spoke on Principle #9. He challenged the people of Rutherford County (natives and new residents) to come together, uniting on common issues and become involved in our local government - specifically the monthly County Commissioner Meetings.

The upcoming Commission Meeting is this Monday, May 4th, 6:00 PM, at the Rutherford County Annex on Main Street.



STATE: George and Jamie Padgett gave a heartfelt presentation on the importance of protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. They encouraged us to become familiar with 2nd Amendment websites and upcoming legislation that pertains to gun rights. Debbie Clary, our NC State Senator, also spoke on upcoming bills/laws in the NC General Assembly (including the Bully Bill, and the Water Bill)



NATIONAL: Zoran Naskov gave a brief history of the IRS, and the Income Tax System in America. He then explained the benefit of a consumption (sales) tax, as preferred by the Founding Fathers. He challenged us to become familiar with the Fair Tax Movement and how it would positively affect our lives.
