July 26, 2008

Board Members Present:
Pinn Crawford, Erica Findley, Michael Braun Hamilton, Annica Stivers, Gordon Turner, Crystal Neal,

1. Erica’s Report:
   • A card for Perri is passed around, as she bought the SCALA checks for us.
   • When people give us money (especially for t-shirts or fundraisers), make sure you write out a receipt. They can make all checks out to SLIM-OR SCALA
   • Reimbursement: Must provide a proposal (in writing) that is approved by the President (Erica) before spending money. You must provide a receipt if you want to be reimbursed.
   • Crystal is donating $2.99.
   • SCALA Membership status: We are technically still a part of Emporia, KS (not an autonomous group), but we can get $50/month from the ALA as a part of our membership. This will come direct to us, not through the Kansas filter.
   • Motion to remove Norma Leistiko from the Board of Directors – she has okayed this as well. The Board passes the motion. Norma will stay on the general SCALA member list.
2. Motions for the Board:
   • Set and vote on date for the next officer election:
     • Erica proposes the first weekend of classes for next term – this will also be the first weekend for OR-9 Students
     • The board votes to approve August 23rd as the date for the for the election.
     • We should have members present at the OR-9 orientation (the weekend before)
     • We will meet on Thursday, August 14^th, 7pm @ The Green Dragon to discuss the upcoming elections in more detail.
3. Report from Social Committee:
   • We have an event this evening: Bowling at Hollywood Bowl
   • T-Shirts: Amy will look into how expensive it will be to buy the screen and send out an email for the pre-order deadline. We will buy 5 extra shirts (possibly OR-9 people will be interested in buying)
4. Report from the Web Committee:
   • Still looking into blog content, as Monique is too busy at the moment.
   • Idea broached for possible Eugene-Seattle projects – we will discuss this at a future meeting
5. Treasurer’s Report:
   • No action, so nothing to report. Group discusses and decides that one signature is fine for depositing checks.
