SFLIS MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

- No mail this week, but there were some femails at the meeting.
- ICON volunteer signup sheets were passed around.
  All SFLIS members who show up at ICON are requested to put in at least
  six volunteer hours. (Please volunteer.  Please, please..........)
  There may or may not be a microcon this year.
  There is a concom for ICON 24.  It is Alex Cochran, Tracy Michelin,
  Jennifer Myers, and Andy Wheeler.
- Pocky was passed around.
- Gamicon Lite happened Sunday.  About 40 people showed up, had fun, and 9
  of them preregistered for Gamicon.
- Anime:  There was a show Sunday, and people came to it.  A few
  of them even stayed to watch "Angel's Egg."
  Next show is Oct. 11 - the Sunday before ICON, featuring idol singers.
- Galen attended a mandatory budget meeting for student organizations.
  It was very very very very very very very very very dull.
- Mindbridge had a meeting Saturday, reviewed the bylaws (but didn't make
  any changes).
  Took the recommendations for guests of honor that were submitted to
  the ICON webpage, and decided on some from each category to recommend
  to the concom.  Most of the names that were dropped from the lists were
  dropped for one of two reasons:  1) - the person lives outside of North
  America and it would cost too much to get them here, or 2) - nobody at
  the meeting had heard of the person.
  Voted on a board of directors.  The people elected were Andy Wheeler,
  Susan West, Mick Hitch, Michele Maakestad, and Lynda Sherman.
- Two ICON guests are making appearances at different bookstores on the
  same night.  If you schedule things right, you can see them both.
  Forrest Ackerman will be at Barnes & Noble on Thursday Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.

  Voyager is not on channels 28 and 40 any more.  Try FOX 15 out of
  Ottumwa.
  One of Jennifer's campers is in the movie "What Dreams May Come."

  Rumor:  The title of Star Wars episode 1 is "The Phantom Menace."

  answer is yes.  Several examples were given.
