OLD BUSINESS

Taxes:

    The MnStf copy of Quicken has been found and the Treasurer has
    loaded the data files.

    Scott will bug Irene (Treasurer) twice a week to get in contact
    with our accountant so the taxes can be filed.

Minicon Finances:

    Books are closed on Minicon 40 (2005) and the Chairman is ready
    to mail a check to the MnStf P.O. Box for the amount of the
    profit.  The Correspondence Secretary will then deliver it
    to the Treasurer who will then determine where it needs to
    be deposited.

    The profit amount for Minicon 38 has been deposited with MnStf,
    but the amounts that the accountant will need to file the taxes
    have not yet been entered into Quicken.

    The books have not yet been closed on Minicon 39 (2004) and the
    amounts have not yet been entered into Quicken.

    Irene will bug Scott twice a week to finish out the Minicon data
    entry.

Letter to Mia

    Carol presented copies of the letter she intends to send to Mia
    about the complaint Mia had relating to the natter email list.
    The board approved the letter.

Geri's Checks

    Have been deposited.

Bookmarks

    Carol has requested graphics from Laurel, but she did it when
    Laurel was in the middle of planning her wedding.  Kevin will
    ask Laurel again to get copies of the graphics to Carol.

Meeting Kit

    Nothing has been done on this.  Kevin will bug Laurel about
    it again.

Speaker to Insurance

    Carol had written a note to herself about this, but the note
    was too terse so she couldn't remember what it was that she
    was supposed to do.  Carol has been reminded and will get
    in contact with Kay Drache to see if she wants to continue
    with being Speaker to Insurance.


NEW BUSINESS

Duckie Box

    The location of the large duckie box has been determined!


Minicon 42

    Greg does not want to chair Minicon 42 but is willing to
    mentor someone during this year to prepare them to take
    over next year.  We should solicit *now* for someone
    to run Minicon 42.  Carol  will post announcements to
    natter, Events and Live Journal and an announcement
    will be put in the next Einblatt.

Next Board Meeting:  November 10th, shifted due to World Fantasy Con
