               Minutes of the Minn-Stf Board of Directors Meeting
                                  June 3, 1985


Meeting held at the French House, called to order at 8:25 PM.

Directors* and Officers Attending: *Jan Appelbaum, *Don Bailey, *David Cargo, *Scott
Imes, Karen Johnson, *Virginia Nelson, Mark Richards.

Item 1: Karen Schaffer handed out copies of a proposed budget for Einblatt.
Various questions raised: Should we switch to first class mailing? Can we afford this?
How about getting a postage meter? Karen will investigate obtaining a meter. Agreed
that dates of Board meetings should be listed in Einblatt. Approved use of first class
postage to mail Einblatt.

Item 2: Approved new Executive Committee for Minicon: Mark Richards, Scott
Imes, Virginia Nelson, Joel Halpern, Martin Schafer. They happened to have been
approved by the Minicon general committee also. (Note: Virginia Nelson voted
against this, and Scott Imes abstained.)

Item 3: No new business on the D. Nelson affair.

Item 4: The next Board meeting will be held on Monday, July 22 at 8:15 PM at the
French House.

Item 5: Virginia Nelson wants to run a Mpls. in '73 party at Aussiecon (Worldcon).
Her fantasy is more expensive than Martin's. $200 approved. (Virginia abstained in
the vote.)

Item 6: The on-going saga: What Do We Do With Minn-Stf's Money? Suggestions:
Phil Thereux wants to hold a contest for writing sf plays. The best script would
receive an award. Scott Imes suggested Phil write a proposal for the Board to
examine. Another idea is to buy Joel Halpern's old house and turn it into a ****
house. (Ah, that's club house, but it's so difficult to actually say the word.)

Item 7: David Cummer reported he's thinking of doing a user survey about the
telephone hotline: what people want, don't want, etc. David Cargo suggested including
it with an Einblatt survey enclosure. David Cummer will talk to Karen Schaffer.

Item 8: M. K. Digre turned in a RUNE budget. The budget was accepted (with
some reservations, mainly for copies of issue #74 to be taken by hand to Aussiecon
and thereby to various Austra lians [sic] -- Virginia Nelson volunteered).

At this point the Scribe had to leave the meeting, and never did find out what else
happened.

                                                    Karen Johnson
