[2004-02-25]

Meeting started somewhere around 1926.  Since the Recording Secretary
wasn't going to be at the meeting, and the Corresponding Secretary was
just sitting there, the Corresponding Secretary [ David W. Schroth ]
was volunteered to take the minutes.

All five board members (Larry Sanderson, Scott Raun, Dean Gahlon, Kevin
Austin, and Laura Jean Fish) were present.

1).  Taxes are not done yet.  Some progress has been made.  The Minicon
37 numbers are about as done as they're going to get.

2).  Bank account not done, need to hook up with Richard Tatge.

3).  Still need to pull together a sales page for chapbooks on the web
site.  There were some questions about sales tax.

4).  No volunteers for Speaker To Insurance.  The problem was left for
the next board to deal with.

5).  No volunteers to host the archives.  The problem was left for the
next board to deal with.

6).  Confusion reimbursement - Larry spent ~$378.  The board agreed to
reimburse $340.30.
     Marscon - the board decided to allocate $197.30 for the Marscon
party.  Laura Jean to email Magenta ASAP.

7).  Pool Party.  Only date Radisson has available is March 13.  Cost
not yet known.  Sharon Kahn was called to see if she could/would host
the voting meeting at the pool party (rather than at Dreampark).  The
answer was negative.  Board to solicit host(s) for the pool party.  Dean
will put up an electronic form of the ballot as soon as the location of
the voting meeting is known.

8).  Minicon 40 Bid Processing.
     Larry and Laura Jean created a proposal which was distributed to
the board.  The Sheraton will be available Easter weekend.  Larry and
Laura Jean are inclined to go with the Millennium the weekend after
Easter.  No other proposals were received.  Kevin said "Go for it."
Dean said "Go for it."  Larry and Laura Jean were adamant that they
would not run Minicon 41.

9).  The Franklin Bank accounts are still open.  Scott needs to close
them soon.

10). Next board meeting is March 13 at 1900.
