Minn-Stf Board Meeting
5 June 1991

	The meeting began at 8:20 pm after the members of the board spent a
while reading the proposals for Minicon 1992. (See three paragraphs down.)

	Don says that he found an extra $6000 bringing our current balance to
around $22,000. When Polly asked if this meant that they could come in with a
more flush proposal for the lecture series there was a general nodding of heads.

	Don has talked to Jonathan about dealing with the IRS. That is in
progress. The IRS sent a certified letter saying that they are going to
attach our account but Jonathan says that because we don't have a permanent
staff they will hold off until things get more straightened out. There are
several reasons that the fine should be reduced. It may be best to pay the
fine first and argue later. Jonathan will advise us on this.

	The main agenda item of the meeting was a discussion of proposals to
run Minicon in 1992. Polly and Margo, in a fit of lethargy did not submit a
(rumored) proposal, leaving two proposals on the table: One by David
Dyer-Bennet and one by Eric M. Heideman. After asking the two proposers
questions and getting explanations about their respective proposals the board
sent the proposers on their respective ways. They would make a decision by
June 15 after meeting in executive session on June 11.

	The board then discussed Rebecca Chesin's duties as Quartermaster
(with Rebecca). Their suggestions included calling the entire Minn-Stf list to
see what people have that they forgot they had (or anyone else forgot they
had.), talking to people who have already started lists such as Victor and
Scott. [We discussed whether the camel really (or virtually) existed since
most of the board has never seen it.] Maybe it would be useful to also have a
list of resources owned by Minn-Stf members (but not Minn-Stf) that they would
be willing to share with people. The discussion evolved into a discussion of
whether Rebecca's shirt could be in the Minicon art show. . .

	The next meeting was to be be at Dean and Laura's on July 23 except
that Polly called to say that the Special Olympics made that date impossible
for her and it got changed to July 25 at which time we will all meet their new
kittens.


	Cheerfully (but sleepily) submitted by Polly Jo Peterson
