New Business

  1. A discussion of dues ensued. It was decided that the dues for 2005 will remain at $30.00; however, the Board approved of a late fee of $10.00 after the first of February. In the past, a significant amount of time has been devoted to the collection effort of late dues payers. It was also pointed out that this new policy and a lessening of the effort to collect late dues may result in fewer members in 2005. A brief discussion of using Paypal followed as an alternative to personal checks; however this was tabled.
  2. The December meeting was discussed and no final location was determined. Ron Swenson raised for discussion the prospect of inviting those who had hosted events in 2004 to the meeting. This was tentatively approved and will be finalized at the November Board Meeting.
  3. After a review and survey from those who attended the East Coast Holiday at Williamsburg, Virginia, it was decided by the Board not to pursue hosting a New England Holiday by the TYP356NE group in 2006.

Notification of the date, time and location of the next meeting will be via e-mail.

With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim O’Hare, Secretary
