Meeting Minutes for Saturday, September 8, 2007

President Dave Pellicer called the meeting to order at 1:10pm.

Treasurer's report: Checking: $1,312 and Petty Cash: $101

Old Business: Subject of club purchase of Videos or DVDs for club library:

Members were asked to submit list of those that were desired to Jerry Johnson or Dave Pellicer.

Older magazines in the club library to be culled and made available (excessed) to membership for next month's meeting.  Any not taken at next month's meeting to be discarded.

No status update available on Jack de Vos:  John Barany has been in contact.  Jack feels not enough time in his schedule next year to make the trek to Kennewick.  John Barany is still negotiating with him to see if he can manage the trip to Kennewick.

New Business:  Nominations for club officers are due at the October meeting since the elections are in November.

Elected positions are:

President

Vice President

Treasurer

Secretary

Members present were encouraged to volunteer for one of the positions or at least, solicit non-present members to volunteer.

Only requirement is that club officers must be members of AAW.

The concept was offered that a club officer position could be a "split" position e.g., two members could share ("job share") the responsibilities of one of the officer's positions if that were more feasible.

Show and Tell items brought by various club members:

 This month's program was an auction.  Photo's 6 and 7 show some of the items sold.

The auction was successful as a total over $200 changed hands.

Meeting adjourned ~2:30pm.
