MinnStf Board Meeting     20 February 1997

At Kay's.  Present: Kay, Dean, Lynn, Polly, Martin

1. Financial Items: The checking account from the Grand Triumverate [sic]
   Minicon is gradually being eaten by service fees.  The signers
   are Polly, Margo, Victor, David Messer.  The money needs to be
   transfered [sic] to savings for now, possible transfer to the main
   MinnStf account later.  Checking = $52, savings ~1500.
       * Polly will close the checking account.

   Kay has several items to give to Julie.  We received our tax forms
   and a letter from the IRS.  They got our letter about last years
   taxes - they are charging us 1cent in interest, but no fees.
   We need the 1996 financial records from Julie (MinnStf) and
   Mark Richards (Minicon) as soon as possible.


2. Minicon Problems
    - Registration is behind, but not as bad as a week ago.
    - The publications have had major problems all along.  The most
      recent one was missing Kate Carey's phone # (head of registration)
      and the registration update, while several other heads were not
      consulted before having their numbers printed.
    - Tom is working 6 or 7 days a week, which does not allow him
      enough time to do Exec, much less Publications in addition.
[marginal note: "He is doing well considering"]
    - Childcare has a plan, which will have to be good enough for this year.
      Hopefully next year will have better PR.  Polly will call Joel Rosenberg
      in response to his e-mail about this year's situation.

3. Kay is doing Insurance for Minicon - estimated premium of $500
   plus a rider for equipment at Minicon.  This goes from 4-1-97 to 3-31-98.

   The storage locker bill will be $92/mo. for the next year, due soon.

4. The Mark Time Award would like to know if we can give them
   financial support we discussed months ago.  We approve a maximum
   of $600.00 for Jerry Stearns to spend on this project.

5. Eric Heideman - can't do the coupon for TOTU by this
    Minicon.  We wants to do it right, and that will take more
    prep time.  Next year there will be a new TOTU out and a
    catalog of the back issues.

Agenda for next time:   (time to be chosen by new board)

    Orientation of new board members
         - Recent issues
         - Financial report

    Selection of club officers
