Directors' Notes

 

April 7, 2003

 

A Regular Meeting of the Board of Di rectors was held at the Regional Center on Monday, April 7, 2003. Present were Messrs. Bovaird, Buoy, Cohen, Keane, Powers, Scheef and Setaro. President Jim Scheef presided and Secretary Larry Buoy kept the record. Minutes of the previous meeting (March 10, 2003) were approved with corrections.

Treasurer Bovaird reported combined bank and postal account balances of $18,035.48, plus postage on hand of $160.75, for a total of $18,196.23 in liquid assets, less a liability of prepaid dues in the amount of $7,330.00, leaving a net of $10,866.23. He also reported current membership of 450.

Again, the opening discussion centered on presentations for General Meetings in addition to that on researching ancestry via the Web scheduled for June. Jeff Setaro announced that he had a commitment from Gene Barlow to make a presentation on PowerQuest programs in October. Jim Scheef offered to prepare a program on “How the Internet Works” for May and Bill Keane was asked to arrange a presentation related to applications for Linux for July. Suggestions for expanding the use of posters advertising General Meetings were solicited, resulting in the possible use of the Interlibrary network for distributing such posters and efforts to prepare such posters in a more timely manner.

President Scheef announced that he had submitted a list of free industry magazines, discount offers, etc., to Jeff Setaro for inclusion in the benefits of membership list on the DACS Web Site and had a few additional user group offers to add thereto. Also briefly commented on was the apparent lack of enthusiasm for the free business card ads in the newsletter.

Mr. Scheef then announced that he was attempting to recruit a committee to activate the availability of a “permanent” email address for members and asked for an update on obtaining a machine to replace the current server at the RC. Charlie Bovaird stated that no suitable machine had become available to date.

It was verified that the form of disclaimer for liability for articles, etc., appearing on the DACS Web Site, as adopted at the last meeting of this Board, had been entered into the Web Site and that the Copyright Notice portion thereof had been incorporated into the newsletter.

The directors then considered electing officers to serve until April of 2004. Since there were no nominees other than the incumbent officers, it was unanimously agreed that the current officers be reelected to serve until April of 2004. They are: James Scheef, President; Marlene Gaberel, Gene Minasi and Jeff Setaro,Vice Presidents; Charles Bovaird, Treasurer and Lawrence Buoy, Secretary.
