MN-StF Board Meeting
January 16, 1995

Attending: Martin Schafer, Dean Gahlon, Polly Jo Peterson, Kevin Trainor,
Joyce Scrivner, Kay Drache

Quote of the Meeting: "Kay Drache, Speaker to MnStf Peoples" (Polly after Kay
volunteered to call yet another person before the next meeting.)

Joyce brought up two items; first, we discussed Treasury, the board's need to
talk to Carol before making a final decision, who to get for cosigners, how
many checks are written a month (taxes: Jonathan Adams is willing to continue
to help,) possibly switching account to avoid high fees (but we don't want to
create confusion between MnStf & Minicon accounts.) Carol Kennedy will attend
our next meeting. Second, Joyce updated us on the collection of material for
the Intersection Worldcon display; she is dealing with Lilian Edwards. This
display will become part of the permanent Worldcon floating exhibit.

The Pool party meeting on Feb. 18 will be the first nominating meeting for
Board Elections; the second nominating meeting will be March 4, and elections
will be March 18, allowing several weeks for the appointment of new officers
before Minicon. Dean will get Martin and Nancy McClure the information they
need for election of officers.

Kevin reports that Jeff Schalles says the next issue of Rune is ready to go
but Jeff is backlogged with work; Kevin has volunteered to help. "Early
February" is the collation date. Garth is with Jeff on this; Jeff is still
looking for missing Board minutes from 11/92, 12/92, 3/93, 4/93, & 11/93.
(Update: Kay supplied 4/93; does anyone have others?) After this issue, we
need to talk to Jeff, and Kevin has volunteered and is eager to be the sole
editor or part of a team.

Martin reports a request from Kris Spiesz to purchase a $350 adapter for Mac
to NTSC (TV video) capability; Martin told him we are not philosophically
opposed to Minicon making this purchase but we think we should continue to
borrow such equipment as long as possible.

Regarding Beermeister, Kay found Tony von Krag's number and will pass on to
Minicon parties; mentioned Marin McClure making one again; space
considerations.

We discussed moving the archives from Joyce's to Kay's. This consists of
moving a 4 drawer file and boxes of material. We will arrange; then Kay will
sort and call for missing material. Karen Johnson, Scott Imes, Martin Schafer,
and Bev Elmshauser were mentioned as possible sources for stuff. Joyce will
organize the Apa 45 material.

We briefly discussed the smoking at Minicon issue.

Polly went over the Survey results and we discussed (again) activities,
frequency, the president vacancy; we will come up with a plan.

Next meeting February 20 at Kay's; Treasurer's report, MnStf meeting, Rune are
on agenda.
