             Minn-STF Board of Directors Meeting -- 23 March 1975 -- Bozo Bus Building

Voting Members Present: Jim Young (President), Ken Fletcher, Margie Lessinger,
                        Blue Petal.
Voting Member Absent:   Carol Bucklin(verbal agreement of waiver).
Nonvoting Members Present: Dennis Lien (Secretary), Don Blyly (Minicon).
Nonvoting Member Absent: Chuck Holst (Vice president).
Guests present: Fred Haskell, Al Kuhfeld, Dave Wixon, Jan Appelbaum.
Meeting Opened at 10:35 (after SMoM meeting), Young presiding.  Lessinger had contacted
Bucklin by phone and Bucklin had agreed to sign waiver in writing of advance notice of
meeting as required under By-Law III.7.

Haskell requested that it be noted that he would be wanting from the 1975-76 Board
a decision of frequency and amount of funding for RUNE; he mentions this now for the
record.  More immediately, he reports that he has paid $100 out of his own pocket
for supplies for the last RUNE; a considerable quantity of these supplies were not
used therein and remain.  Since he has been receiving $50 per issue, he would like
the Board to reimburse the $100 spent, for which he undertakes to put out the next
issue (43) without further subsidy out of the excess supplies and his own pocket
as necessary.  Thus in effect the Board would be authorizing the usual $50 retroactively
for 42 and in advance for 43, though in practice we would be reimbursing Haskell's expenses.
General agreement that this would be all right _if_ we have the money; in the absence
of a Treasurer's Report (due 29 March) we cannot be certain.  If needed, private club
members volunteered to loan the money.

Blyly reported on his reading of the Minnesota Statutes on Nonprofit Corporations:
(1) we must keep the Secretary of State notified of our current address: have we?
(2) an ambigious [sic] reading suggests that we must renew our incorporation at periods--
this should be checked into further.  Lien noted that our address as given in our
incorporation papers was the Hobbitat, which will probably be vacated in the near
future.  When it is, we should transfer our official address to the post office box
or elsewhere and so report it.

Lien brought up three snags from the past, in reverse order: (1) an amendment passed
by the Board on March 31, 1974, was never published in RUNE and hence is not official.
This amendment clarified the wording in the Constitution as to whether the Minn-STF
President must or must not be a Board member to the effect that he could be either.
(2) RUNE 39 prints (as a footnote) a sentence not in the Secretary's records as the
opening sentence of what is now By-Law XII, with the note that the Board believes
this to have been part of the original motion and that they may wish to take some
action legitimatizing said sentence.  To date, no action has been taken.  (3) the
amendment of 26 Jan. 1975 has not yet been published in RUNE and may not make the
three month deadline.  Lien suggests that the Board may wish to repass the amendment
of 26 Jan. (thus in effect extending publication deadline to 23 June 75) but that
the first two points be left to the discretion of the new Board.

On motion of Petal, 2d of Lessinger, and vote of 3-0 (Young not voting) the amendment
of 26 Jan. 1975 was repassed with identical wording.  On general agreement of
Board, Young stated a resolution that it be "Resolved that the other two items be
brought up before the next Board as soon as possible at its first meeting."

Fletcher moved to adjourn, Young seconded, passed without dissent.  Meeting adjourned
at roughly 10:50.

                                        [signed:] Dennis Lien

                                                    Dennis Lien, Secretary

                                    [handwritten:] (typed 25 March 1975)
