Below the first line of equal signs is what was published in RUNE 60, page 36,
under the heading "THIS IS YOUR BOARD".  They are all in one section with the
May 4, 1980 minutes, but I will separate them for web posting for consistency.
The minutes are in two different widths because there is an illo of a moose
next to the top of them.  Under the second line of equal signs are the
handwritten notes taken at the meeting (which are not official minutes, but we
haven't found the official minutes).  Matt Strait typed these up in 2021.
No, I don't know why they don't include anything about the mailing permit, which
the RUNE summary suggests was the main order of business.

     Unquenchable bunch that they are, they were back
at it on the following Sunday, May 11.  This time all
members of the Board of Directors were present: Jon
Adams, Gerri Balter, Scott Imes, Carol Kennedy, and
Dave Wixon.  Also present was Corresponding Secretary
Mark Richards. This meeting was held in the lobby of
a local hospital, which fact should not be attributed
to the character of the debate tactics of the Directors.
     Having pulled the chairs and couches into a circle
under the hostile glares of the occasional hospital
visitor, the Board proceeded to discuss the situation
with the Society's bulk mailing permit.  It was noted
that there had been several recent problems, and the
Post Office had even reprimanded us for misuse. The
Board determined to maintain closer control over the
use of the permit, so as to avoid possible revocation
by the Post Office.
     Accordingly, the Board has set up rules, and has
resolved that no Society member may use the permit
unless Board approval has been given.  Members interested in using the permit for
their mailings should contact a Director for details on how to obtain such approval.
Requirements will include prior submission of the publication to the Board; a clear
statement that the mailing is not a Society function; and a clear indication that
the mailing is non-profit in nature.  The Board must have assurance that the person
using the permit knows how to do so; Director Wixon can help advise you on this.
  The Board has authorized Joyce Scrivner to help set up a Minneapolis in '73
bidding party at Noreascon II, but has not yet allocated money in support of the
party.  Society members are asked to consider making donations to the cause.
     ('Cause it's the fannish thing to do, that's why!)
     It was noted that the Lost and Found box at Society meetings has been growing
like Chicken Heart; members are asked to claim their goodies before it's auctioned
off or batter-fried.
     Gerri Balter is leading an effort to take-up collections for refreshments at
Society meetings; see her for details and to get rid of your unused cash. (A Free

Carol Kennedy says

from Minicon should be purged of
undesirables for _Rune_ mailings.

 sent a sample _Rune_ & a request for 50 cents,
  LoC, contribution, trade, etc. for
  future issues.
