Working Meeting Minutes

PM
Location - MISFITS Office, St. Paul, MN
In Attendance:
Officers -
Dave B., Matt, Thomas
Board Members - Pat
Guests - Roger
Club Updates
- Geek Physique - Tim
is running that. Highest turnout at the MOA. Lowest turnout
outdoors. Bodes well for winter. Indoor walks upwards of
nine people. Idea for the future – snowshoeing or cross
country skiing.
- Book/Movie -
Choosing session last week. It would be nice to send out the
list to the google group list once it is finalized.
September book/movie was Hitchhikers. Next one is In Cold
Blood.
- Geeks Read - Next
meeting is October 3rd. Online free book and meeting at
Jodie’s.
- Crafty Geek - Last
meeting was Sept. 17th.
- MISFITS of Gaming -
Believe there was a 2nd meeting but nothing has been sent
out from Dave Rust yet. Dave Rust will send us an update.
Budget Report
- $320 charge from CVG for
publications. Rent is the only thing coming up. We now have
online billing with Qwest. We are now at $37,427.18. CVG
audit and MISFITS audits completed and satisfactory.
Officers will follow up via email to discuss areas that we
want to beef up spending for next year. Recommended that we
do another look at banks to see if we can get an interest
bearing checking account and/or invest some money in a time
account (CD).
Program Updates
- GOT Edutainment
(Dave B. and Erica Z.) Possible events: Science Museum,
Burlesque Show, water slides, art museum, corn maze, haunted
house, apple orchard. Any progress on a poll? (either on
MISFITS web or LJ) Dave will contact Erica within seven days
for a day out. Art museums are usually free on Thursday
nights. Consider subsidizing Geek Physique events in
addition to GOT events. We have scheduled a Body Worlds
exhibit on Sunday, Nov. 19th at
2 PM. Dave has a 10/12 deliverable to get us all relevant
information
- In the Schools –
Jodie will touch base with Erin and Dave Kingsley to get an
update.
Events Updates
- Fall Event (Movie
Night) – budgeted for $600 (could go up). Mounds Theatre
too cost prohibitive ($750 for theatre rental alone). Rex
guys could do a January movie during that concom but that
would be long because it is a election meeting. The November
concom is on a Sunday, so staying late for that probably
wouldn’t work either. If movie night is pushed off until
January, then the two GOT events will have to sustain us for
the fall. Peter will follow up with Rex boys to see if a
November date is feasible or to lock down the January date.
- Spring Prom 2007 –
Prom Committee start date of 11/01. Have Amada and/or Emily
been approached? Creature Feature Theme. Matt will talk to
Amada and Emily about this within a week.
- Fall Officer Retreat -
November – 4th and 5th. We should confirm concom
meeting date. Touch base with other officers. Two nights.
Decide Fri to Sun or Sat to Mon. Officers will discuss this
via email and Thomas will work with Ishmael to get room for
that date.
Other
- Inventory List and
Checkout System – Dave has made a template and it is up
in the office ready for use and now he’s working on a
permanent stamp to mark our equipment as well.
- Photography Club –
Roger brought forward an idea for a photography club. A
formal submission has not been received. Officers were in
agreement that it sounded like a good idea. The next step –
Roger will email Chris Jones to send out a separate email
soliciting interest from the general concom so Roger can
have a base of interested people to further shape this idea.
- Room party planning
– MarsCon PR1 just went out – Dave B. will contact Dave K.
to see if Dave K. would be interested in hosting another
MST3K themed party. Matt will volunteer to help with party
depending on the theme. We need to check out Minicon and
Detour.
- Picture Archive Project
– Peter (CD/DVDs in office) – No update.
- Board / Officer meeting
scheduled for 10/04
