Minn-Stf Board Meeting 24 June 1992 Persons present: Dean Gahlon, David S Cargo, Kay Drache, Eric Heideman, Sybil Smith, Polly Peterson SF Minnesota and Diversicon Eric presented a letter which they are intending to send out to fan groups inviting them to participate in and support SF MN and Diversicon which outlined a matching grant proposal with Minn-StF. David was comfortable with giving up to $1000 but thought that if we give them half of their funds, people will perceive them as just another off-shoot of Minn-StF. The board agreed after discussion to do a 1 to 2 match with other contributors up to $1000. (Minn-StF will pay $1 for every $2 contributed by other people.) Eric asked about using the Minn-StF bulk mailing permit and the mailing list. The bylaw do not allow the use of the bulk mailing permit, but the board has in the past and is in this case willing to let organizations use their mailing list. Minn-StF Storage Space Kay investigated and rented a storage space at U Save Park Self Storage in St Louis Park. It has a good security system and extended hours (7am-9pm) but is unheated. People will have to think carefully if they plan to store Minn-StF and Minicon property there and to check manuals (which, by the way, the Board would like the original or a copy of put in the Minn-Stf library for anything that the club owns) to make sure that they are not heat or cold sensitive. The space will cost $308 per year and we will need to get our own storage insurance. We need to figure out who needs to get in and out and train them on how the system works. Having no other business, we adjourned way earlier than usual. Next meeting is July 20, 1992 on the 20th Anniversary of Minneapa at Toad Hall.
