MN-Stf Board Meeting

August 15, 1994

Attending: P. Peterson, D. Gahlon, M. Schafer, S. Imes, K. Drache

Next Meeting: September 26 at Kay's.

Polly reported on MN-Stf meeting start time; the small survey was divided. She
will talk to more hosts.

Polly reports that Rob Ihinger says we made $184 from the sale of library
books at Diversicon. Polly bought $10.00 of gas for Don and Margo's van which
was used to haul books and shelving to and from the con. Reimbursement
approved.

We approved $200 for Doug Friauf to hold a Mpls in 73 party at Worldcon.

We discussed the Minicon 30 Theme; pretty lame.

Reiterated that Minicon open meetings count toward voting privileges in
MN-Stf elections.

Scott Imes presented Alex Eisenstein's proposal to take the one time
opportunity to display the works of artist and animator Ed Emshwiler at
Minicon 30, an expensive undertaking which the Board approves of in theory but
is not prepared to fund beyond $1000. Ideally someone would find grant money,
check into Minnesota Arts Council travelling exhibition insurance funds, and
be willing to serve as a local 'champion' of the project. More details
forthcoming.
