A regular meeting of your Board of Directors was held on Monday,
October 8, 2007. Present were John Lansdale, Lisa Leifels, Patrick
Libert, Rob Limbaugh, Christine Novell, Jim Scheef, Jeff Setaro
and Jamie Yates. President Rob Limbaugh presided and secretary
Lisa Leifels kept the record. Minutes of the last meeting held
September 10, 2007 were approved.
Not having Treasurer Charles Bovaird, President Rob Limbaugh
reported current cash assets of $9,056.82, consisting of total
bank and postal accounts in the amount of $9,013.07 plus postage
on hand of $43.75. Subtracting a liability of prepaid dues in
the amount of $5,798.00 left a net equity of $3,258.82. He also
reported that the current membership increased to 261, 77 of
which are electronic.
Christine said that the November general meeting will be a presentation
by some of the SIG leaders describing what their group is about
and what usually takes place at their meetings. Rob’s fiancé Flo
has offered to do a talk on how nonprofit companies versus corporations
approach IT Management. Jeff Setaro suggested we try to get NewTech
to come back and do another presentation on their 3D LightWave
software for the Mac.
On Friday, November 2, Sean Henderson will do a PC-based music
production workshop at the DACS resource center. Sean reported
by email that he is advertising DACS events on Craigslist.org,
AmericanTowns.com and MySpace.com. He has emphasized that the
upcoming John Patrick meeting in December should be the primary
marketing focus.
Howie Berger reported by email that progress is being made with
the nonprofit project. DACS will be invited to participate on
a new initiative to help bring technology resources to the nonprofit
community. Howie communicated that he had a successful meeting
with Mission Research, a company which specializes in nonprofit
fund raising and volunteer software.
Rob mentioned that the resource center beautification project
will take place on two consecutive Saturdays, October 20 and
October 27.
Rob recommended that we create a new Special Project SIG to
be held on the second Wednesday of the month. He also thought
we should add a Windows SIG to be held on the fourth Wednesday
of the month, which Rob offered to run for the first few months.
Both of the new SIGs were approved by the board.
The meeting ended with a few members of the board commenting
on what a great job Anna Collens and Richard Corzo are doing
in keeping the data on the DACS website up to date.
