Secretary's Report:
No comments were made about last month's minutes. Greg moves to approve April Minutes, Ted seconds. All in favor.
Treasurer's Report:
Greg handed out his report. Totals as of May 6, 2002, are: Checking $3,955.29, Savings $12,514.21. Total assets right now are $20,328.26. Compared to last year's total, we are a little behind due to the loss from last year's conference. Last year's total at this point was $31,800.00. Greg also presented a nice letter from the Charlie Knepple Scholarship.
Membership:
Lori brought samples of the awards for the 15 year members. Gwyn made a motion to give the 4x6 awards, Allison seconded. All were in favor. A discussion was also had deciding that a certificate would also be given to 15 year recipients. Lori also asked about the numerous calls she received regarding the list of proposed 10 and 15 year members. There were seven total people that disputed that they should be recipients. Lori's records showed that those seven missed at least one year of dues in the allotted time frame. A lengthy discussion was had and Allan made a motion to accept all seven as either 10 or 15 members due to the sketchy records that we had for a few years. Gwyn seconded the motion. All were in favor. Lori also reported that the company doing our awards is willing to come to conferences with some merchandise already made up with our logo on it. If anyone wants something else not presented, they can order it. The board discussed this and decided to ask that company to become a corporate member before we let them do that.
