Fall Con:  No Fall Con people are present.  Where are they?  This is an item for the next
         Board.

Hot Line:  Dean & Laura will take the Hot Line.  It needs to be installed by the first
        of April.  This will cost approximately $40.  This expense is approved for under
         $100.  For the legwork of moving the Hot Line, Dave Romm was selected.  Karen
         will contact him.

Protection of "Minicon" Name:  This can be done.  As a trademark it needs proection.
         This costs money.

T-Shirts:  There is another T-Shirt request.  In this one "Minicon" is latinized.  Again
        There is a discussion of name protection.  Don votes to disapprove.  Rob approves.
         Karen says no.
         If they take "Minicon" or MNSTF, etc. off and use something else.
         Also there was a move to change the vote on the first T-Shirt.  No "Minicon"
         allowed on it but we can license "Silver Edition".  Rob and Karen - yes.
         No "Minicon" on T-Shirt.

Special Meetings for next year:  Ideas are Planetarium, Science Museum, etc.

Limeade:  Shares of Stock - Don and Rob - no.  Elise and Karen - Yes.
         The Limeade That Wouldn't Quit.

Air Cleaners:  Do we want to purchase another air cleaner.  Peter has one with a three
          years payment plan with no penalties.  Question on this is if we get it and
         don't like it can this be returned?  How noisy is it?  Has anyone seen it in
         operation?  If it functions quietly enough and if the specifications look good
         we will approve.
         Don will call Honeywell and see if he can get as good or better machine and deal.
         If he can't the Board will let Peter get the one he's looking at.
         The expense for the three payment was approved by Elise, Karen, Rob and Don.

Minicon Budget: Minicon Treasurer asked to obtain a written copy of the Minicon budget.
         The Board would like to know what it is.

Update on Sales and Use Tax Exemption:  Rob has gotten some cases of the MN Court of Appeals
     and this exemption is difficult to obtain.  We still want to apply and see if the
      rules have changed.

MNSTF Meetings:  What are we to do about holding them?  It is getting harder to find
     places to have meetings. If meetings are held outside of homes things are needed to
     be brought in to spark conversations.  One orttwo people per event are needed to
     coordinate with the President.  There was a discussion  of changing the starting
     time to 2 PM or have two parties 1:30 to 6:00 and 6:00 to whenever at two different
    places.

Meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM.

Agenda for next Board:
       Fall Con
       Protection of "Minicon" name
       Special meetings for next year.
