SFLIS Minutes October 30, 1996

SFLIS Meeting Minutes as scribed by Henry Olsen (who was present :)

Meeting was held 10/30/1996 in the back room of The Mill Restaurant on Burlington Street in Iowa City, IA.

Meeting called to order at 17:33.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Lynda brought candy to share with those who wanted some. Alois says he brought some candy too so there was apparently a lot of sugar highs after the meeting.

As Lynda read mail sent to SFLIS desk, the attendance/contact sheets went around. Reminder: Please keep it down while Lynda reads the mail. There were quite a few discussions going on that often trampled on Lynda's orating.

Elections.

• President:
  • Brooks has been selected as President of Canadian Operations in addition to expressing interest in running for President (of the USA-based group).
  • Lynda Sherman is playing the part of the incumbent this term 'round.
• Vice-President:
  • Noel (?) has expressed interest in being the VP.
  • As did Rob.
  • As did Zoe (who has a new collar).
• Treasurer:
  • Galen Silversmith is Treasurer unless otherwise scandalized.
• Official Scapegoat:
  • Although there was this elaborate ceremony at ICON XXI this year, it was decieded that Alois (who is not yet gainfully employeed although has a few interviews lined up) will continue to hold this position until he leaves at which time it will be officially transferred to "RC." (Sorry, I don't have last names or spellings.)

Gamicon Info:

• First Gamicon mailing will be (or has been) sent out.
• ETA information was distributed at ICON XXI. If you questions or would like info, contact a Gamicon Committee member.
• Event forms, etc., were handed out at this meeting.
• Meetings in IMU 3:30P (ishh?) in the SAC. Ask ITC/SAC monitor for directions if you get down there and can't find it. Increased meeting times/schedules. (Sorry, I can't quite make out my notes as to when and how often.)

There was a Halloween party at Katherine's and (illegible notes) "Last name" (sorry) on Oct 26. All went well. Dare I say that all had a ghoulishly good time?

RocCon (sp?), Myrna's B-day and World Fantasy (have no idea, sorry) all happen on the same weekend coming up here soon (date is ... uh in Klingon?). Plan accordingly.

(As the group was searching for something to discuss ...) Alois announced that he has been fixing his VW.

Ah, someone briefly mentioned there were a meteor shower and a full moon this past week (of the meeting) and ... wouldn't you know it? ... local weather prohibited most of us from seeing either. (Darn!)

Reminder of B5's schedule for all you Babylonians out there. Don't forget that we're fast approaching the end of Season III (or was it IV?).

Next Anime showing will be the 17th and as to location? TBA. More information will be provided as our reporters assemble it.

MCON (Minneapolis CON) Reminder (although it's too late now): Nov 1 was the final date by which you could pre-reg for this event for $25. After this date, you must now pay the unholy sum of $30. (This is for MCON 32, right?)

There will be a pinball party at Marty's place on Saturday. (It's already happened. Sorry.)

Does anyone have any ideas to consume or reduce in surplus the amount of unpopped popcorn? We're a creative bunch, we should be able to collectively think of SOME, shouldn't we?

Don't forget to check out the SFLIS web page at http://www.SFLIS.org for any information to which there might be links.

John Johnson's been working on the ICON XXII page. Go take a look -- it's off the SFLIS page (see above for directions). Meeting adjourned at 18:00.
