Minutes of the DMTF Board Meeting

January 8, 2004, DMTV Studios

In Attendance Connie Anderson, Pete Glaser, Nicole Holliday, Ingrid Hoffmeister, Jodi kennedy, Philippe Lamoise, and Bob Ganey

President Pete Glaser called meeting to order at 3:00 pm.

Minutes of previous meeting were approved.

Grant Status

So far we have given out $12,000 in grant money and we have $24,000 left to go.

Bob Ganey presented a proposal to Board on Water Dam Project and requested $500. Board requested that  Bob emphasize emergency aspects of Dam and approved request unanimously.

Chris Biele requested $500 grant to improve ending of lagoon video. After much discussion as to whether Board should approve grant of $500 for such a small project and whether or not Chris would actually benefit directly from the grant, and if this proposal was within the guidelines or out by-laws, the board approved the request, with the exception of Pete who opposed.

Group 66 Status

Nicole passed out than you cards and envelopes to be sent to our donors. Pete suggested we also send them "A Walk in the Park" DVD. We divided up list and decided to stuff and package at Nicole's house on Sunday at 5:30, before our annual meeting.

Board discussed efficiency of this year's campaign and Pete thought we should focus more attention on our personal contacts.

Board Expansion

Pete informed us that next Tuesday, our paid bookkeeper will begin work.

Pete proposed we fill Joanne's seat with a member of the Producer's Group. We all agreed that Bob Ganey would be named a board member and that his 3 co-chairs would act as alternates in his absence.

We also decided that we should take a look at our major donors as potential board members. Connie suggested that even if we can't snag the big fish, we should try to get assistants, etc, as proxies.

We adjourned at 5:15 until next meeting to be held on Thursday, February 5 at 8:30 am at DMTV.
