MnStf Bank Accounts, Etc:

budget summary.

--Based on 2008 budget, the board may discuss changing the MnStf meeting
host reimbursement amount.

--M45 should be given a target profit (initial guess $2000-$3000).

IRS Letter of Determination:

--He will have this done no later than Friday after 4th St.

Minicon 44 update:
--M44 made a profit (~$1600?)

--The only outstanding transactions are reimbursement to Karen Cooper
and the reimbursement from Coke.

Articles of Incorporation:
--Matt will look into what is required by state if we change them
officially

By-Laws:
--What needs to be done re: publishing the minutes?

--The BOARD members will each agree to look at the by-laws and discuss
via chat list about what to do with thus far unpublished minutes.

Meeting Credits:
--The most recent change ratified 3 concoms & 4 "regular"
meetings.

--Previously, we had been implementing 4 concom & 3 "regular"

--It is moved to change it back officially.

--The board will wait to make this change back until "all" other changes
are settled, so as to publish just one new version.

--Dean would like to see board chat on this in the interim, to have
changes settled for paper copy next time.

--Traditionally, work-party-like gatherings have been counted as Minicon
meetings, and those in attendance could get Minicon credit for working.

--The board would like to see more avenues to allow more people to get
more involved with the club.  So far discussed have only been alternate
avenues for gaining voting status, as it is the only "hook" we have.
Are there other possibilities?

--MnStf could host a party in the (Minicon) consuite for a couple hours
to increase visibility.

Storage Locker:
--Liza is working on looking into storage locker locations/prices.

--It would be nice to have proposal to discuss at next board meeting.

Next Board Meeting:
--Saturday, July 25th, at Strait residence, at 2pm.
