III. Old Business

  1. Resource Center: Good at the moment.
  2. Monthly Meetings: Drawing volunteers – special email asking for volunteers - Doc never did this – Break the job up.
  3. Committees: Publicity Committee: publicizing Socrates Café.
  4. Seminars: Jan McNulty, Jim Boynton, & Phil Sullivan all have new entries.  June Hollister will soon take a break throughout the end of the year.  We agreed to give $50 to June Hollister for printing costs for her free class.  Doc is supposed to ask for donations to reimburse us.

  11. Our $10,000 CD: We voted to put $5000 in checking, and return the remaining $5,000+ interest to a CD.  Treasurer accomplished this.
  12. A/V Lab: We are now locking the room.  We're asking for more equipment donations.  We are near opening for the digitizing of both vinyl records & cassettes.  George is looking for a filing cabinet.  We voted to charge $5 for 2-hour sessions.  Yes=8, No=0

IV. New Business

  1. Rudy Crawford showed us some customized keychains for fund raisers.  We tabled this issue until next month.
  2. Doc suggested that we try to open the Resource Center daily on a 9 to 5 basis.  No support so this was quickly dropped.
