Webmaster (Buddy) : Hi,The March Activity Report has been posted to the Key to Harmony blog: https://key2harmony.org/files/index.php?post/March-2021-Activity-Report

Our active members dropped from 456 in February to 444 at the end of March in spite of the fact that we had more new members join Key last month that we had unsubcribe. There were a number of members whose email addresses were reported by Gaggle as unreachable because "Mailbox Disabled." I think all of them were members with Yahoo.com email addresses. I don't know what's going on with that Yahoo situation.

They were deleted from the Key mailing list because we will be billed next month based on the number of members we have on the list (bouncing or not). They can always rejoin later if needed.

KeyBiz stats:

259 messages posted in March.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

A. Secretary Position: Opens at end of May, 2021- need a volunteer to step up. Mickey considered the position at this time and declined for now . This continues as Unfinished Business. April 2021: no discussion.

B. Concepts Study: Facilitators Question posed: Is anyone on KeyBiz willing to facilitate Concepts Study discussion or meeting in another format ? Rose, Katy & BJ volunteered to be Facilitators. Not yet confirmed. This will continue as Unfinished Business in April. April 2021: Discussion as to how to possibly implement Concepts Study in a different way continues. Key to Harmony members were asked to participate in survey( x 3 ) .A very small percentage of our membership (8.2 percent) expressed an interest via the survey in continuing a study of the Concepts of Service under any circumstances, and only 6.2 percent were willing to join another email list to do so. Even fewer, 5.3 percent, said they would be willing to join KeyBiz to do so. Buddy then suggested that we table any further discussion of finding a method to conduct the Concepts study because the vast majority of our membership (91.8 percent) either does not want to continue the study at this time, or doesn't care whether the Concepts are discussed or not. Discussion will continue into May.

C . Concepts Study : Motion #1, April 2021 ( made by Joyce in March 2021 & titled by BJ ) “I move that Concepts study Not be conducted on KeyBiz”. Rose and Shelley seconded the motion. Discussion: 8 members have contributed to discussion thus far in March 2021. Discussion will continue in April 2021 as Unfinished Business. April 2021 : Discussion continued. Additional members participated. Joyce requested to withdraw her motion. Withdrawal approved. This is now finished business.

BUSINESS:

No new business
