SFLIS Minutes - September 4, 2002

- We have access to the SFLIS website now!  It will be updated soon.  We
  promise.
- SWAMP flyers are passed around.
  Next anime show is Sept. 8, C125 Poppajohn Business Bldg, 1-8pm.
  According to the schedule, there will be time travel involved.  Ok, so the
  schedule needs a little revision.
- Our president makes a diagram showing the difference between old business
  and new business.
- No figures on AnimeIowa yet.
- The display case went well.  We'll do it again sometime.
- We're going to correct our constitution.  But which version does the
  university have on file?  They've apparently lost our most recent one.
- TICC, the Trans Iowa Canal Company, had their first meeting last night,
  but not many people showed up.
  Here are the times and locations of the rehearsals.  They need actors, so

- We're transitioning from old business to new business now.
- On Sept. 17, 7pm at Barnes & Noble, there will be a book discussion,
  David Weber and John Ringo's 'March of Country.'  If you participate in
  the discussion, you can buy the book for 20% off.  It's not absolutely
  necessary to read it first.
- Mindbridge meeting after SFLIS tonight.
- There's a new person here today so we do introductions.
- Lots of cons coming up.  Among them are Arcon in St. Louis, Oct. 4-6, and
  ICON Oct. 18-20.
  And Gamicon Lite at the Waterloo Public Library, Sept. 14 from 10-4:30.
  It's free!
- Mindbridge members picnic is Sept. 28 at Morrison Park in Coralville.  If
  you go to tonight's meeting, then go to the picnic, you'll qualify to be
  a member.
- We have a discussion on whether it's possible to drive from Des Moines to
  Iowa City in 45 minutes.
- What do we do with our 0-0 funds (this is the money SFLIS got from the
  D&D world tour 2 years ago).  They paid SFLIS the money they'd agreed to
  in the contract the university made them sign.  They also made a verbal
  agreement to pay the volunteers, which they never did.  Repeated attempts
  to contact them have failed, and we're not sure if they even exist any more.
  What we need to decide for right now is where the money should go if SFLIS
  is dissolved.  This is the problem the university found with our
  constitution.  After some discussion, it looks like we're going to go with
  the default paragraph from their sample constitution, with the wording
  exactly the way they want it.  Basically says that 5 years after SFLIS
  ceases to exist, the money will go to the university.
  We're still trying to find a way to distribute the money to the volunteers,
  but it needs to be something the university approves of.
- And now we have some 'good business.'  No 'new' or 'old' age discrimination
  here!
  For the anime show Sept. 8, ignore the times and episodes on the flyer.
  The correct schedule will be posted on the website.
- That's it, time for Mindbridge.
