MnStf Board of Directors
November 14, 1994

Attending: Polly Peterson, Martin Schafer, Dean Gahlon, Don Bailey,
Tony von Krag, Kay Drache

Next Meeting: Monday, December 19, at 7:30 at Kay's.

Tony von Krag presented information and requested a letter from the Board to
the Carlson Companies regarding the Radisson Plaza Hotel and CC's refusal to
negotiate with H.E.R.E. Union Local 17. Tony will draft a letter which we will
edit and sign.

Don reported on the Minicon 31 exec process; he recommends a three person Exec
of  Tom Juntunen, Glenn Tenhoff, and Kay Drache. Approved. Don wants this Exec
to commit to having an Exec recommendation for Minicon 32 by the October 95
Board meeting. Approved.

The Pool Party will be at the Radisson in January; approved a budget of
$250.00 with a $100.00 'management reserve'.

Upcoming capital expenses to consider: 2-4 new air cleaners at Don's Honeywell
employee discount price of $200 each; Parties would like to purchase a
beermeister (refrigerated tap) for ~ $250.00 (Johnson Beverage Supply, Anoka;
Palm Bros., Nicollet and 27th; DuLucas, Lake and Minnehaha); Registration is
of the opinion that Art Show needs their own computer, perhaps a used 286
($600 or less), so that Reg. can enter ATDs at the con, access files, etc.

Polly reports that preliminary figures show a $28,400 profit for Minicon 29.

Martin and David Dyer Bennet are working on the OTML.

MnStf President candidates; Martin will try DDB and Karen Cooper.

Polly brought up the idea of a MnStf survey. Who do we appeal to, want to
appeal to? What do people want, what is fun? When do we meet? Saturday?
Sunday? Where? Do we have a pool of hosts? How often? Once a month? Bi weekly?
Hopefully Polly is taking charge of this. The first MnStf meeting of 1995 will
be two weeks after the New Years Eve party.

Other bits and pieces: Denny can decide if he wants to take a 'classified' for
someone selling a long run of old Analogs; Fandata club update needs to go in;
TOTU is due out in early December to coincide with reading; rumors of Rune
have been heard in the distance.

IRS: 'Just Kidding' - we don't owe any money.

Kay will follow up with Alex Eisenstein re: Ed Emsch project.

ReinCONation has a committee, Chair David Emerson.

Rob reported on Library sale; bottom line after ReinCONation, Diversicon,
Uncle Hugo's, Dreamhaven and personal sales, $675, which does not include
garage sale income & assumes we take cash from the bookstores rather than
credit. Thanks Rob!
