April 21, 1994

Attending: Dean Gahlon, Polly Peterson, Mitch Pockrandt, Karen Johnson,
Martin Schafer, Kay Drache, Rob Ihinger

"Ten minutes is a long time to spend in the bathtub with your cat."

Today is Polly's 10th Anniversary in fandom.

Minicon Treasurers Report PP has a rough balance of the books for Minicon 29
(yeah Polly!) with approximate figures for the few items still outstanding:
may have to reprint volunteer t-shirts and mugs. Bottom line: ~$20,000. PP
will be doing treasury again next year with Mark Richards.

MTN.ORG MS got E-mail saying they look with favor on our application and will
let us know when they have their act together. DDB suggested MNSTF.org domain
relating to this; forwarding some accounts from MTN.org to Terraboard.
Question of how much of Minicon's business should be conducted via E-mail; fan
questions, contact with Pros, interdepartmental communications. Other ideas
involve kinds of archives to keep on MTN.ORG: treasury, fan history (there's a
group out there MS wants to contact under MNSTF auspices.) DG points out that
Martin McClure wants to know how much we want to invest in this; like how many
computers. DDB says this is a wireless ethernet system....

Charles Piehl would like $40.00 for a Mpls in 73 party at Demicon. Approved.
DG will take ReinCONation flyers too.

Corresponding Secretary issues. Polly wants to buy something easier to carry
stuff in: approved. Also is considering a postcard letting people know we got
their mail to use for some things.

Library KJ and RI discuss; PP would take the MN authors collection but not
zines etc; possibly room for file cabinets in storage locker. Greg would look
and possibly buy stuff. Rob points out we should ask Denny to solicit space
for either whole or reduced collection. What about Joel Rosenberg? Rob will
call and see if he would be willing even temporarily. Must get boxes too.

Old art show panels need to be disposed of; persons at meeting seemed to have
a need for these.

We need to talk to Kevin Matheny; erroneous info to hotel and interjecting
himself and his opinions into inappropriate situations

Membership Secretary DG has prepared guidelines, and discussed the McClure's
new system of mailing sign in sheets and collecting COA info on a separate
sheet. Polly will talk with them about looseleaf notebook to replace bulletin
board.

It is time for another MN-Stf Treasurers report; Kay will call Carol Kennedy
for an update for next meeting.

Next meeting May 19 at Kays.
