A Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors of DACS was held at the RC on Monday, March 12. Present were Messrs. Bovaird, Buoy, Gaberel, Greger, Neary, Ostergren, Pearson, Preston and Setaro. President Ostergren presided and Secretary Buoy kept the record of the meeting. The minutes of the meeting of February 12 were approved as corrected. Treasurer Charles Bovaird reported combined account balances of $22,357.09 plus postage on hand of $165.07, a total of $22,522.16, less prepaid dues of $8.170.00 for a net of $14,352.16. He also reported current membership of 524. President Ostergren announced that the annual InterGalactic meeting, tentatively scheduled for April 28, now seemed firm. Matthew Greger and Don Neary expressed interest in attending. Mr. Neary accepted the post of APCUG liaison. With respect to the replacement of the PC at the RC, Don Pearson and Bruce Preston volunteered as an ad hoc committee to assemble a new unit around the AMD processor that had been donated to DACS, within the pricing limitations previously authorized. Charles Bovaird advised that he had begun generating the mailing list for dacs.doc using Access, with some assistance from Bruce Preston, and that he would like to change the DACS mail address (not the address of the registered office) to his own mailing address for convenience in handling the incoming mail. He also advised that Red Hat had expressed interest in running an ad in dacs.doc for three consecutive months at a reduced rate, and it was the consensus that such offer be accepted. President Ostergren reminded the Board that the election of officers would take place at the April meeting. He then initiated a discussion of ways to improve the newsletter, suggesting that the calendar could be expanded to include other computer-related events, including those of neighboring user groups. It was also agreed that the list of ISPs included in the newsletter should be updated. Jeff Setaro advised that the Photodex Corporation had offered trial copies of its CompuPic digital image management program to user groups, with option to purchase and a cash rebate to the user group. A true record. ATTEST:
