Meeting called to order at 8:18 by Denny Lien, in the absence of either President or Vice President. Joan Kusske appointed temporary Secretary. Lien announced that Fred Haskell is the new editor of Rune and that material for the upcoming issue should be in his hands by Friday, 16 August. Lien announced that Margie Lessinger has now rotated into the Presidency (previous President Ken Fletcher having "lost his political base" or somesuch) and will remain there until October 16, when Blue Petal will take over. Lien announced that a Board of Directors meeting and a Secret Masters of Minicon meeting had both been held at the Bucklins' on 11 August, and that the former had produced a number of resolutions which would become By-Laws of Minn-stf upon publication in Rune. Copies of the resolutions were posted on the bulletin board and comment was invited. Lien announced that Fred Haskell was also redoing the address list and wanted new addresses and phone numbers given to him. Lien having gotten rather tired of announcing, Gerry Wassenaar slipped in one of his own: Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Book Store will be coordinating rides and drivers for the Worldcon (the proposed chartered bus having failed to come off). Everybody having gotten rather tired of announcing, the meeting turned its flagging attention to site selection for upcoming meetings. The 24 August meeting is set for Joan Verba's, and Worldcon follows the next week. Would we want to go back to an every-other Saturday afternoon meeting schedule after Worldcon, as is traditional? Dick Tatge asked if presiding officer wanted a motion to that effect and Lien made the mistake of indicating that he did not, as he was running an informal meeting. Tatge then made an informal motion which was informally seconded by Nate Bucklin and passed with three informal abstentions and one informal "Present." Upcoming meetings will thus be every other Saturday afternoon commencing on Sept. 14, two weeks after Worldcon. The September 14th meeting will be held at Bruce Hanselo's parents home: 13205 B / 16th Ave. N. / Plymouth, Minnesota. The Sept. 28th meeting will be at Denny Lien's: 2408 S. Dupont--Apt. 1 / Minneapolis. Mike Wood pointed out that Minneapa had gone triweekly, and that there would be a collation thereof at the Sept. 28th meeting. Oct. 12 is Minicon; no meeting that week. Martin Schafer informally moved for adjournment by walking out and Dick Tatge informally seconded by following him, followed by everybody else. Meeting adjourned at 8:25.
