I thank all of you for your comments. Allow me to get deeper into the main motion and the issues around it. My main motion is to have the church members vote on the request to establish a Committee to investigate an opportunity to invest some of the church trust funds in an opportunity that may provide returns that may provide significant income to meet church operating expenses and maintenance requirements for a number of years. I have a few members of the trust fund committee who have verbally expressed to me that they will not support such an investment program. They have no idea what the specifics of the investment are. It is a power play on their part. The Powerpoint provides a general overview of the investment opportunity and the possible returns. My motion is not to make the investment. It is to establish a committee to investigate the investment and as a result of their investigation make a recommendation.

The audience are members of a church holding an annual members meeting. I want to introduce new business. I have a "powerpoint presentation" to support my new business request. Do I need to make a motion to allow me to show the powerpoint? Then once shown make a second request to establish a committee to investigate the new business opportunity provided in the powerpoint?
