Old Business

Spring Show

Application forms going to Roy (Bourse Chairman) and John T (address on website). John T. will update the Table count on the website to indicate number of tables sold / still available.

Send checks on to Catherine. Checks should be deposited upon receipt. No refund if the dealer cancels out. The fee is non-refundable, but the dealer can resell the table to another dealer.

Need to print out some application forms, so they are on hand at meetings for members to fill out.

After Feb. 15^th applications will be sent out by Roy to dealers.

John T: applications should be taken only my mail (or in person, with payment), not by phone.

New standard – nothing sold to dealers until after Feb. 15^th. Sell tables first to members PRESENT at the February meeting, then to other club members. Then to dealers after Feb. 15.

Larry will write up some rules and e-mail them out for review and come up with a proposal for amendment to the Club’s by-laws.

Larry: Club displays at the Show – if anyone wants to put out a display, we’ll have some designated table space for the Club. The club also has a couple of cases which can be used for displays. (Catherine currently stores two of these, in working order. Charly has the third one, in need of repair ?)

At next month’s meeting, get a volunteer list for help at the Show.

Storage Cabinet:

It would be good to have a cabinet in the meeting room, to store Club items. At a previous meeting, it was mentioned that the Club had a cabinet many years ago. Did anyone investigate this?

Club Brochure:

John T. is working on the Club Brochure. Anyone with ideas, please contact John T.

John D: Any news about including the club brochure in the packet of flyers that come in the mail? Gave sheet about advertising in this to Bob.

Club History:

John T has added Don Johnson’s letter to the Website - click on “About the Club.”

March Meeting – Educational – volunteer – Doug A. Will have a quiz and presentation on Dollar Coins.

Renaissance at South Middle School – April 1^st.

This event clashes with our Club meeting, but many members would like to attend the Renaissance event, like we did last year. Last year we had 3 tables of displays and handouts. James (who attends South Middle School) had his collection on display, and Roy brought along a large display and some videos to show. Larry brought items also, and several other members attended. It was very well supported, and the tables attracted a lot of interest. The members present today decided that this year we would move our Club Meeting for April to the following week: April 8. Larry will contact the Parks & Rec office to notify of the change. Therefore, all members who would like to attend the Renaissance on Thursday, April 1^st are welcome to do so. Set up time is from 4:00–5:00 pm. Event takes place 5:00–8:00 pm.

Business portion of meeting closed at 8:28 pm
