This is a transcription of old minutes done in 2020.  I have but left original
errors intact, if any, and may well have introduced new errors.  Everything
inside square brackets, (e.g "[sic]") is added by me.  These minutes, as found,
are undated, but because they refer to Anokon and Minicon 15 as upcoming,
Minicon 13 as past, and Sept 12 as the next meeting, they are probably from
August 1978 (of course, could conceivably be anytime from April to early
September 1978).

MINUTES -- Meeting: Board of Directors, Minnesota Science Fiction
                                        Society, Inc.

The meeting took place at 343 E. 19th Street, #8B, Minneapolis.

The meeting opened at 9:10 P.M.  Present were Directors Bailey,
Johnson, Lessinger and Wixon, as well as miscellaneous on-lookers.

The Board considered and agreed by consensus to the proposal of
the Minicon 15 Committee to the extraordinary expense of using
buttons in place of name badges.  Wixon will communicate the
decision to Bev Elmshauser and Jan Appelbaum for implementation.

On the subject of allocation of more money for RUNE, the Board
decided to request that the editors attend the next meeting of
the Board -- tentatively scheduled for mid-September sometime --
and bring with them a budget outline and their proposals.

The Board heard short progress reports on Anokon and Minicon 15
from Committee representatives.

Wixon reported that there had been no progress in resolving the
problem of NW Bell telephone bill from Minicon 13; he will con-
tinue efforts to communicate our position to them.

The Board discussed the question of filling the vacancy created
among its members by the resignation of Jan Appelbaum.  It agreed
to ask Joan Verba to be the new Director.  She was contacted by
telephone and accepted.

Finally, the next meeting of the Board was tentatively set up
for Tuesday, Sept. 12th, time probably 9PM but subject to change
if it is difficult for anyone to make it.  Joan Verba, Nate
Bucklin, and Lee Pelton and Carol Kennedy are asked to let the
rest of the Board know if they have any problem with this date
and time.  Place: same.
