2001 May 21, 15:00ish, at Dreampark. OLD BUSINESS ------------------ Past Minicon treasurer Andra predicts a profit of about $3000, although not all expenses have been paid yet. Possible next Minicon treasurer Peter is an actual government accountant, waiting for clearance from his HR department to become treasurer for Minicon. Scott had earlier agreed to contact Carol to get a Minn-StF treasurer's report. Scott will consider this an email reminder. Scott will arrange for phone calls to be made re: 501(c)3 status. [[2011 May 22, edited to add: Scott confirms that Carol had already been informed about the Dessicated Dodo stipend, and has now emailed her about scheduling a Treasurer's report.]] ACTION ITEM (already done at an earlier meeting, but reconfirmed here): summer picnic budget increased to $208 because of increase in park site rental fee. Dean had no new report on the storage locker. Joel P. will be organizing a storage locker party this summer; Dean will use this opportunity to find who does/should-have access to storage locker. Eric sought advice on long non-noisy passwords vs short noisy passwords. Will set the mnstf website master password to one of the former sort and advise those with a need to know of the change (this time for real). NEW BUSINESS ------------------------------------ ACTION ITEM We're giving $100 to the Gordon Dickson Memorial Scholarship fund, as usual. We need to make sure that Carol, our treasurer, is informed that the Board has declared the annual Dessicated Dodo party thrown shortly after Minicon to be an official Minn-StF meeting. Our last paper membership directory was published at the end of 2008. Scott has collected data on paper that requires data-entry, but would like volunteers to step up for the actual data-entry. Scott made an announcement about this at the Minn-StF business meeting later in the evening after the Board meeting. Kevin volunteered to post recruiting data-entry volunteers to the Natter mailing and the Minn-StF Livejournal community. Emily succeeded in getting her State Fair parade idea onto the agenda, and we discussed it, but we weren't quite sure what to do about it, so Scott made an announcement at the business meeting (after the Board meeting) that Emily was interested in having us participate in the State Fair Parade, and that interested members ought to contact her. NEXT MEETING ------- Saturday, June 4, at Beth Friedman's in Richfield, at 2 pm. We chose the earlier date in case we needed to meet any deadlines for the State Fair, and also because the second meeting in June is being hosted in Wisconsin.
