AKS Minutes - November 1, 2005

Members in Attendance: Gary Floyd Carl Holtman Jo Long Karen Whitney Location: 2214 Laurel St. Gary called the meeting to order at 7:05 pm OLD BUSINESS: Minutes of the October 4, 2005 meeting were distributed, discussed and approved. Motion by Carl, second by Karen, motion carried. Jo Long (Chair, Nominating Committee) reported Carl had agreed to accept the Treasury position for the next term (2 years). Therefore, Karen’s motion from the August meeting was now acceptable. Her motion was to keep the officers the same. TREASURER’S REPORT Our account balance is $672.33. This reflects the balance after the $250.00 check to AKCA for KHV research. NEW BUSINESS We discussed our website problems, including: DOWNTIME: The site was down recently for several weeks. The site is currently hosted by Texas Tech on Jo Long’s personal page, at no cost to the club. BROWSER ERRORS: The site was created with Microsoft Publisher and is not compatible with FIREFOX web browser. Carl suggested we look into getting an independent host for our website. He reported one hosting company he had checked into charges $6.95/year for the domain registration and $9.95/month for hosting. We discussed several different ideas and decided to do some more research and talk about it again at the next meeting. CALL TO FLOOR: None NEXT MEETING: We agreed the December meeting will be in conjunction with the OWG Christmas Party. And agreed our club would provide support for the party. OWG will let us know what they would like us to bring. We also decided to have a “Social Meeting” in January. We will meet at a restaurant for dinner and have a brief meeting. We asked Gary to set the time and place and let us know. Meeting adjourned CLUB ACTIVITY: None Minutes by Jo Long, AKS Secretary
