May 24, 2001The meeting was called to order by President Gary Kissinger at 6:00 pm.
The minutes of the April 26 meeting were read, corrected and approved.
The treasurer, Chris Gundersen, reported that the current t-apple balance is $2.857.81. Monthly expenses totaled $113 and incoming funds totaled $285.00. Chris reported that he had resolved the issue of the overpaid and underpaid dues amounts from last month. He presented the board with two versions of the quarterly financial report, one more detailed, the other abbreviated, for consideration to be presented to the members. It was moved and passed to send to send the briefer synopsis to members by e-mail and to post the detailed version on a separate web site that could be accessed by the board for which Craig would email us an address.
Under old business, the outreach project was postponed until more information could be ascertained regarding network connectivity.
It was discussed that the t-appple business cards had been printed and distributed to members at the last business meeting. The idea of flyers was revisited and Gene explained that he had previously designed one for the purpose of walk-in visitors at our meetings and possible new members at Comp USA to tell them how to join, what the benefits would be and how to get on the mailing list. After some discussion it was agreed that Linnie will work with Gene to develop a new version of this “visitor info” sheet.
The treasurer’s document showing the results of the budget meeting from the first of the year were reviewed and accepted to be placed into the t-apple records of club transactions maintained by the secretary. It was felt there was no need to make any amendments at this time.
It was noted that the new name tags for the members had been completed by Craig Zody and were used at the May 10 business meeting. Craig is also making new boards for holding the name tags.
The posting of minutes to the members was brought up and the secretary and sys-op said they would work on expediting this process.
Replacement of the Mac SIG leader was revisited. It was discussed that the SIG leader position could be separated out from the board position. In this case Dave Fountain had expressed interest in the board position. Russell Kropp was mentioned as a possible candidate for the SIG position and that he might have some leads on possible speakers through his association with the FSU film school. Charles Yates said he will follow up on this.
Under new business, the board reviewed the t-apple policies the bylaws committee had drafted, made amendments, then voted on and passed them to be entered into record .
After a brief discussion on designing membership cards, it was decided to take no action at this time.
The June meeting topic was discussed and it was agreed to offer a continuation of the web page design with Mona Lisa Abbott leading the workshop.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 pm..
Respectfully submitted,
Linnie Osborn, Secretary
