Jim Scheef accepted the office of President but deferred to Allan, who continued to preside over the further proceedings of the meeting. Charlie Bovaird proposed amending the check-signing authority of the corporation to update the records of the Union Savings Bank and provide for the foregoing change in the office of President. Appropriate amendments were adopted to the current authorization dated September 11, 2000. Further discussion ensued on the InterGalactic Conference on April 20, 2002 resulted in expressions of intent to attend by Marc Cohen, Don Neary and Jim Scheef. A brief report of the results of the advertising initiative revealed that, of the seven visitors registering for the April 1 General Meeting, only one credited the ad for prompting attendance at the meeting. During a discussion of future General Meetings, Jeff Setaro mentioned that the Hospital’s auditorium was unavailable to DACS for either May 7th or June 4th; May 7th scheduled for a Microsoft presentation. He proposed use of the Radisson Inn’s facility for May 7th and it was agreed to so do. Ed Heere offered to prepare a presentation on the options of DSL or Cable high-speed Internet access for one of the available July, August, September or October General Meeting dates. —Larry Buoy |
