ANNOUNCEMENT: GM Xynwen reminded all MHO (Meeting House Organization) members and leaders of the requirements to maintain your group, a list of groups without enough events this year (there are **19** groups on this imperiled list!), and the repercussions which follow failing to meet requirements. Are you a group member/leader? Be sure to review this to make sure yours is not one of the 19 groups:

MHO EVENT REMINDER

Just a reminde

r, there are less than 2 months left in the year to get your event and membership requirements completed. Several MHOs have not met their requirements yet. You can check your event counts with the MHO clerks; MHOs must have a minimum of 5 members. If you think your count is wrong or if you have extenuating circumstances and wish to make a request for exemption, please reach out to the MHO GM at gs4-mho@play.net.

Failure to meet requirements will result in the MHO being inactivated in January while the MHO GM discusses requirements with the affected MHO officers. Permanent loss of MHO status may result.

MHOs Missing Requirements

This is current as of November 6, 2022. I would like to stress that as the MHO GM, I do not like taking action against any MHO. However, it is unfair to the GMs to have to nag people to complete minimal requirements, and it is, more importantly, unfair to the myriad MHOs who do not require such handholding, as this burden can take away from activities that may fall upon them.

Going forward, while I may post an informational reminder, it is going to be incumbent upon the MHOs to check their status and reach out proactively to the MHO GM. After this, I will more than likely not post the list of MHOs in jeopardy, but will take appropriate actions in January.

Also note, if you are on this list, but your main events are typically in December, don’t worry — as long as you’re current by 12/31, you’re fine!

Renowned Tier Actions:
* Dropped to Prominent Tier
* Loss of calendar items
* Loss of prize closet items, if applicable (single insignia item only)
* Loss of structure, if applicable

Prominent Tier Actions:
* Placed into Inactivity in MHO system
* 60 days to reach out to MHO GM and make arrangements for reactivation
* 60 additional days to meet reactivation requirements
* Failure to meet requirements will result in permanent removal

Special Handling Notes:
For several of these MHOs, this is not the first year for this issue. As such, they may be subjected to more stringent actions, especially if they are failing to meet negotiated requirements for a previous issue.
