This is a scan and OCR of minutes done in 2021.  I have corrected OCR errors,
but left original errors intact, if any.  Everything inside square brackets,
(e.g "[sic]") is added by me.  Underlining, if any, is represented by
surrounding words with underscores.  The original minutes were typed, so have a
fixed width font, and this copy duplicates the formatting as far as possible.
Exception: page breaks are not noted and page headers and/or page numbering
is not copied into this version.

         Board of Directors Meeting: Jan. 12, 1974; at Young/Blyly apartment

Present:  Board--Chuck Holst; Margie Lessinger; Frank Stodolka; Gerry Wassenaar.
         Other---Caryl Bucklin (Treasurer); Denny Lien (Secretary)

Absent: Board--John Kusske.            Other--Bev Swanson (Vice President).

Called to order at 3:10.

Gerry Wassenaar moved and Margie Lessinger seconded that the Board repass the three
declarations previously passed by the Board but not published in _Rune_ within the
required period.  Motion passed 4-0.

Chuck Holst pointed out that Minn-STF does not have a permanent box number, but has
for some years been using Frank Stodolka's.  Carol Bucklin asked who is supposed to
handle Minn-STF incoming mail and suggested the secretary.  If so, should keys be
obtained for secretary and president as well as for Frank? Will the P.O. issue
extra keys? Do we instead need a box with a combination lock? Should the box be
used also for _Rune_? Should we go on using Frank"s [sic] or get one of our own?  And if
so,where?  (As officers change, "convenient" locations change.)  Denny Lien asked
how much mail requiring an answer Minn-STF gets; Frank said two or three pieces a
month.  Gerry moved that Lien and Swanson check on location, size, and price of a
P.O. box and reported back.  No one seems to have seconded, but it passed 4-O.

Discussion of upcoming Board election.  Next election was set for March 23rd, with
nominations thus open Feb. 23 and March 9.  March 9 will be the last qualifying
meeting.  _Rune_ must be received by Feb. 18 and thus should be sent by Feb. 18 to
satisfy pre-announcement requirement.  Margie Lessinger moved and Gerry seconded
that the present Board should not make a recommendation as to size of incoming
Board (which will be decided in the same election).  Passed 4-0.  Last year's
Elections Chairperson, Denny Lien, declines to serve as such this year; it was
thus decided to ask for a volunteer to do so.

Gerry Wassenaar moved adjournment; died for lack of a second.

Frank Stodolka brought up Minn-STF housing situation.  Frank and Dick Tatge are
interested in forming a Minn-STF Slan Shack to make available a permanent Minn-STF
club and meeting place.  Carol Bucklin requested clarification: Frank suggested
incorporating a separate organization (for financial reasons) to seek a house; he
has access to information on FHA-approved repossessions and suggests possibly
locating a duplex, the organization members to live in one half and rent the other
half to Minn-STF.

Gerry Wassenaar moved adjournment; seconded by Margie Lessinger and passed.

Adjourned at 3:55.
