Old Business:
Adam Kutell proposed that we purchase a “multi-media projector”, screen, laptop and copy of Microsoft Office for club members to use in giving presentations. Discussion was had about the concerns for security. Bill Collier offered to put a hasp lock on the bottom lectern drawer that could be used to store the equipment. Also, Bill suggested to only buy a projector only which could independentlyinterpret and display presentations stored on flash storage such as USB thumb-drives and members could then bring their presentation on a flash drive. Erin Gissel suggested having a series of educational power point presentations in the club library that could be given as speeches by the members. Max Kaiser suggested members could make donations to the club to help defray the cost. A price was estimated at $1,300. A motion was made to vote on the proposal. President Reichardt called for a vote to purchase a “multi media projector”, screen, laptop computer and a copy of Microsoft Office. The motion was passed by a show of hands.
