[SJAAboard] December 22,2007 - Draft Meeting Minutes

[leebizz at aol.com]

Hi All,

???? When Mike Koop came to my office a few days ago, he told me he had heard from the (wife?) of the borrower of scope #1.? I understood the telescope had been lost and Mike had been promised by her to receive a check for $60-$70 which Mike had agreed to as compensation to us.? I don't know any more details.? He also gave me a pair of 11X80 binoculars and a large Orion tripod for them.? Included was a slip with information about the previous borrower.???? Bye for now,
???????????????????????????? Lee

There's no reason to do this, just put the text here or don't
mention the treasurer's report yet.

I believe it was not unanimous, (one negative vote).

When the board votes on something, we're supposed to record who made the
motion, what the motion actually said, whether it was seconded, and the
results of the vote.  Not properly recording motions and votes is what
got us into trouble before, not to mention the legal requirement.

Are they 10x70?  I've got 11x80 in the property list.  Who has it now?

About the borrower of scope #1... Agreeing to compensate the club and
actually doing it are two different things.  What's going on with that?
