OLD BUSINESS
Fund Raising Possibilities:
Program:
- Treasurer April Chinski is investigating grants. Much of her time is devoted to wedding planning, so this is taking longer than anticipated.
- VP Dan Miller suggested Wal-Mart Community Grants, which are especially intended to fund programs for kids.
- Subsequent research has revealed that only 501c3 not-for-profits are eligible for Wal-Mart's grants.
Events:
- Denis will give his rescheduled presentation about antennae.
- Food will be the ever-popular chili and sides.
Constitution:
- Joe O'Neil (KB2TJE) attended the Battenkill bike ride meeting. This involves a 60-mile course and many volunteers. We did not have sufficient interest or notice to participate in the big event on April 10. There will be a smaller event on April 18. Each organization receives a $100.00 donation for every 10 volunteers provided. Contact Joe if interested as this is not formally a SMARA function. Joe's cell 944-8405, email WA2OHU@yahoo.com
- Secretary Dave Stark distributed a printout of 5 proposed amendments to the SMARA Constitution. Board voted unanimously to submit these amendments to the members at the April 15 general meeting for discussion. Per the Constitution, a vote on adoption may take place at the May meeting. A copy of the printout will be emailed to all members as soon as the minutes are published. Members may submit any additional amendments at the meeting as well.
NEW BUSINESS
- The Board wishes to seek input from the membership as to creation of an official letterhead for SMARA correspondence. We are hoping there is a graphic artist in the club who can help us out.
- The Board went into Executive Session for about 15 minutes to discuss details and timing of upcoming initiatives.
Meeting adjourned at 20:04 by unanimous consent.
Respectfully submitted by David Stark, NF2G, SMARA Secretary
