March 11, 2003 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by the President, Larry Everett. There were thirteen member present. It was moved and seconded to dispense with the reading of the minutes as they had been mailed to each member. The Treasurer's report lists a balance on hand of $255.99. Old Business: There was no old business. New Business: David Rankin discussed the web site. Since the club has lost its original site, we need to decide if we want to pursue other options. It was voted unanimously to pursue another web site. Frank Wollenhaupt and Larry Everett agreed to serve as back-up webmasters. David says there are no web sites with unlimited free space. David has looked into possible web site names. www.mvsg.org www.mvsg.info and www.mvsg.us are all available. It was decided to pursue the www.mvsg.org name. The cost of the domain name will be in the $17.50 to $25.00 per year. It was moved by Frank Wollenhaupt and seconded by Ken Rhoads to approve up to $25.00 per year to register the domain name. Motion carried. David then presented the possible criteria to use in selecting the domain host. A site that provides E-mail with the ability to forward to an individual E-mail account was preferred. It was moved by Frank Wollenhaupt, and seconded by Georgia Otten to approve up to $35.00 for the one time set-up fee for the web site, and up to $5.00 per month for the site. Several fund raising ideas were discussed, but there was no project selected. Larry announced that elections will be held next month. The second seminar at the Boonshoft museum will be Sunday March 16 by Frank Wollenhaupt on Cambridge nudes. Georgia Otten gave a brief update on convention plans. The Friday night buffet will be an appetizer buffet, with four hot and three cold appetizers, mock champagne punch, and dessert. This will be a "grazing" event, to allow participants to view and bid on the items in the silent auction. The Saturday evening banquet will be provided by a new caterer from St. Clairesville. Participants will have the ability to make their menu selection for the first time. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. The next meeting will be held on April 8.
