NOVEMBER, 2000 MINUTES
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by the President, Larry
Everett. There were 22 members present and 3 guests present
Several members reported on activities at the quarterly meeting.
1. There were two changes to the by-laws:
a. There is now no limit to the numbers of members allowed in each local club.
b. If the club does not meet in any given month, there is no requirement to send a report
to the national organization.
2. Several vendors presented various showcases at the meeting. At this time, the
specifications for showcases have not been developed so the cost of showcases is not known
at this time. Specifications will be developed for different size cases and sent to
vendors for quotes.
Requirements for sponsoring a showcase were discussed. Since the cost of the showcases is
not known at this time, the actual costs to sponsor a showcase is not know. However, if
the final specs for the cases remain at 42" with lighting, it will cost $1000 to
sponsor a showcase. If the final specifications result in a larger cases, the cost to
sponsor the top line case may change.
One of the requirements is the ability ro reconfigure the space in the museum, so the
showcases will be free standing.

Bring appetizer or dessert, and Phyllis will provide the meat, drinks, and tableware.
