OLD BUSINESS:
During Jokemaster portion of the meeting, we dicussed lopsided role-filling and how some members are not being filled in roles they need. No solution or compromise was reached, and the discussion ended without any action. After the meeting, quite a few emails were circulating through the week continuing the discussion.
NEW BUSINESS:
A motion was passed to reimburse Adam Kutell for the purchase of 36 DVDs. VP of membership will hold a stash to be delivered with notebooks to all new members, several will be kept in the camcorder box, and Adam will hold the remainder so they are kept more secure than the lectern cabinet.
