A meeting of the DACS Board of Directors was held at the RC on April 9, 2001 at 7:30p.m. Present were Messrs Bovaird, Buoy, Greger, Ostergren, Preston and Setaro and Mrs. Gaberel. President Allan Ostergren presided and Secretary Larry Buoy kept the minutes. The minutes of the last meeting, held March 12, 2001, were approved, with minor correction. Treasurer Charles Bovaird reported assets, including CDs, checking account and postal account in the amount of $22,685.05, plus postage on hand of $184.05, a total of $22,869.10, less a liability of prepaid dues of $8,652.00, a net of $14,217.10. He also reported current membership of 529. President Ostergren asked Mr. Bovaird to prepare a forecast of DACS’ financial condition for the purpose of future budgeting. Mr. Bovaird informed the meeting that most of those not renewing their membership had moved out of the Danbury area. He further reported that DACS’ non-profit status had lapsed, and that application for reinstatement was underway. He also announced a change in insurance carrier to The Insurance Company of America, resulting in some changes in the terms of the new policy and a reduction in the cost of insurance. He also reported donation of a spare computer to the RC for usage by the SIGs. Arrangements for the upcoming InterGalactic User Group Conference were announced, followed by a discussion of the current status thereof and agreement that DACS continue to support it. In response to problems cited by the Internet SIG, Jeff Setaro announced that the password for access to mags.net had been reentered. It was also agreed that the overhead projector owned by DACS and currently unused, be donated to Senior Net. President Ostergren advised that the presentation on Assistive Technology had been rescheduled for May 9 (7:30p.m.) at Datahr. Publicity therefore will again be undertaken by DACS. Bruce Preston announced that most of the components of the new RC computer had arrived and that an "Assembly Party" should occur during the next two weeks. Following discussion of the election of officers for the ensuing year and in the absence of some of the incumbent officers, it was agreed to defer such election to the June meeting and opportunity to consult with those individuals. A true record. ATTEST:
