Madison HOURS BOD meeting Aug 7, 2007
Called to order at 7:35pm. Susanne, Rob, Jon and Ali are present.

We approved previous meetings’ minutes unanimously.

Outreach: Ali will email our pancake dates to Madison Datebook and will contact Jon for pancake related pictures.

Budget: The board reviewed the pancake data that Jon pulled together. Jon will re-arrange it so it is easier to understand (for the purpose of comparing co-sponsor’s effectiveness as fundraising helpers).

Newspaper: the BOD approved payment to Grace for this paper’s layout. We discussed layout and updates and Jon will make updates to the New Member form as noted.

Pancakes: Ali will continue to recruit for the upcoming breakfasts. Next up is to talk to Norm Stockwell about the Socialist Potluck. October is Chrysalis and November is WI Books to Prisoners.

Currency: Jon presented samples of potential paper. BOD will wash them up to see if they are sturdy enough to be made into currency.
Susanne to send BOD her sampling of Canadian currency websites for future paper references.

Pancakes: Ali and Rob to shop. Rob to let Ali know what he’s got leftover from last month.

Website: the new website was discussed, including our capability of BLOGS. Susanne (that MySpace nut) is excited about blogging!

Holiday Trade Fair: BOD decides to do it again! And we’ll look to hold it at the High Noon Saloon on the first weekend in December. Also, we need to look into securing a dolly for the transfer of tables.

Next meeting: Sept 4, 2007 at 7:30 pm.
Approved September 4, 2007
