(asked) Done: * (2021-03) Scott will update the board-chat mailing list and #mnstf-board Discord channel. * (2021-03) Scott will follow up with Carol to make sure we get back up to date on the storage locker -- check went in the mail March 23. * (2021-02) Matt will announce our next regular/public meeting to our officers and chairs. * (2021-03) Matt will see if Vice President in charge of Seconding Nico Johnson would like to continue -- He accepts. * (2021-03) Matt will figure out who else has access to edit the website -- Matt and DD-B have full panel access (control of everything). There are also panel accounts for Einblatt and Scott, which allow access only to the announce lists and the einblatt01 user. Joe P and Clay have access to the minicon01 account (just the websites of current Minicons), and Joe P, Clay and Kevin have access to the mnstf01 account (all other webpages). * (2021-03) Matt will tell Clay he's not the webmaster anymore. * (2021-03) Matt will see if First Vice President Isaac Schneider would like to continue -- He accepts. * (2021-03) Matt will tell Hershey of the meeting date(s). == Review recurring task list == Nothing to do now. == PO Box / corresponding secretary == For the next year, we certainly can keep our box number (8297). We don't know what's going to happen when they build the new post office. The post office is asking us to fill in some paperwork so they know who is supposed to be picking up our mail. We have not given them the paperwork yet. We will get at least two keys, but it is cheap to get a few more, like $8 each. Linda and Aaron will get keys in addition to Hershey. Linda will be a regular mail-picker-upper. Aaron will just be a backup. So Linda and Hershey will be correspondence secretaries. == So the officer list is == President: Sharon Kahn First Vice President: Isaac Schneider Vice President in charge of Seconding: Nico Johnson Treasurer: Irene Raun Assistant treasurer: Carol Kennedy Membership Secretary: Scott Raun Recording Secretary: Matthew Strait Einblatt Editor: Osce Erikson Rune Editor: Matthew Strait and Kelly Strait Archivist: Matthew Strait Quartermaster: Joe Lima (if he accepts) Correspondence Secretary: Hershey Harris and Linda Lounsbury == Conventions == * Minicon 55 We are now postponed to 2022. We have no financial obligation to the hotel for 2021. At some point con planning will restart. Aaron is working to get a smaller required room block and a gentler penalty schedule as a function of how much we miss the room block by. * Decongestant 5 Hershey is interested in starting to talk to the hotel. Matt says great. Any weekend between Labor day and Halloween, non-inclusive. Columbus Day weekend preferred. Later preferred for more vaccination. == Mnstf meetings == Are we happy with the budget and how Sharon is planning to spend it on picnics? Yes, quite. == Next meeting == 6pm, May 6, 2021, on Jitsi. => New TODO list <= * (2021-03) Matt will announced the next meeting to officers and chairs. * (2021-03) Scott will get the letter sent to the storage locker changing our billing address to Carol's house. * (2021-03) Matt will ask if Brother Joe will continue being the quartermaster.
