President Caryl Bucklin asked for a Treasurer's Report from Treasurer Caryl Bucklin, who informed the club that we have money and hence ought to think of ways to spend it. Suggestions included RUNE computer address labels; a postal scale to simplify RUNE mailings and keep the Postal Disservice happy; more shelves for the Minn-STF library (Bruce Hanselo is also donating some shelving). The library will be finally set up and made accessible and all that when the Bucklins move into their new home. Nate Bucklin requested suggestions _re_ library hours. Meeting schedule for next few weeks: we will go to our summer schedule, with a Saturday afternoon meeting every third week and a midweek meeting every week and a half or so following those Saturdays. The midweek meeting will alternating between Tuesday and Wednesday nights to keep everyone only moderately unhappy. Upcoming meetings: June 1 (Sat) at Jeff Appelbaum's; June 11 (Tues) at the new Bucklin house; June 22 (Sat) at Denny Lien;s ; July 3 (Ed) at Martin Schaffer's; July 13 (Sat) at the Hobbitat; July 23 (Tues) and following to be announced. Don Blyly reported _via_ Caryl Bucklin that the week of ["August" struck out] Oct 12th will be "Minneapolis Science Fiction Week," sponsered [sic] by B. Dalton Booksellers and the Mpls. Public Library. The del Reys, Ben Bova, and Fred Pohl are supposedly being brought into town. We should consider holding a small Minicon that weekend. The next RUNE is the Special Minicon Issue, with photopages and all that. Get contributions to it in ["to" struck out] by Friday, May 31 at the latest: Don Blyly will not be able to do any mimeo work on it during finals week at the U Law School. Bev Swanson wants to run a limerick contest in RUNE and wants ideas for prizes. Chuck Holst brought up Picknickcon or however it is spelled. We agreed tentatively on Saturday, July 20, at the Kinikinik River (or however it is spelled) site used last year. Chuck Holst (or however he is spelled) will look into arrange- ments, including possible sleep-over [eight characters very thoroughly struck out] plans for those interested. An intense argument on how that place listed above is pronounced and/or spelled was rudely cut off by the President (or however she is spelled). Frank Stodolka moved adjournment and Martin Schaffer seconded. All voted in favor and the meeting adjourned at 3:45, but was at once reopened by Caryl Bucklin to announce that the Bucklins were moving to 4701 Park Avenue S. in Minneapolis on May 28 and would like the assistance of sundry brawny fan-types in so doing. No one moved formal adjournment again since everyone had vanished. As of the June 1 meeting, Ken Fletcher will be taking over the Minn-STF Presidency in a bloodless coup (pass it on. . . .).
