I. Minutes from the previous meeting February 17, 2007 were approved.

II. Terry Lehman’s treasurer’s report indicated an unchanged account balance of $695.95.

III. An update on progress in evaluating possible event locations indicated little additional progress. Janet Oiness Kennedy reported that the Bell Weather rates would run about $199 per room, with a 20% discount if we guaranteed 10 rooms. Added to the previous list of Bell Weather, Silver Reef, Hampton Inn, Lakeway Inn, Northwood Hall and Country Club, was Fox Hall . The Country Club was dropped from the list. Gary Byron suggested a list of questions to ask each possible facility, insuring some consistency of information from each, thereby insuring our ability to better evaluate each facility.

IV. The Friday night pre-function location is basically tabled for the time being. The Greek Orthodox Church will not be scheduling for 2008 until after the end of this year. Discussion included inquiring of the Elks Club as a back up. Terry indicated the Builders Industry Association will be building a new facility, which may be available.

V. Rick indicated some committee members are re-considering whether any type of music and dancing is necessary or desirable. It was suggested using E-Mail to gauge people’s general response to questions about music. Gary will do an email poll. Bill Jones can set up a tape systems, using MP-3 files.

VI. Wally will be working on Sunday picnic activities, including softball, golf and food.

VII. Gary encouraged everyone to continue reviewing the class list and figuring out ways to get information on as many people as possible where we have no current contact information.

VIII. Gary reported on initial class garage sale details, including costs. Using a professional firm would cost 40% of sales. In exchange, they do the storing, sorting, pricing, selling etc. Unusual items would be marketed for us on eBay. The firm will give us ideas on the types of items best suited to sale. It was suggested we do one sale in June and gauge results before attempting another.

IX. The 1988 20 year reunion video has been re-mastered and converted to DVD, and is now available for sale for $15. Terry is opening Paypal account to allow online purchases of the video and any other items. Watch the web site for their availability.

X. Terry reported that Mr. Gilda is no longer doing photography. He is looking for an alternative photographer. There was also discussion about making available digital shots from the reunion that attendees could later download.

XI. Gary suggested adding an advertisements page to the web site, which would allow for class members to post “business card” ads. It was decided these would be free ads. Send your business info to Gary via the website.

XII. Terry is looking into having alumni baseball caps made, with the Raider logo.

XIII. There was some discussion about class of 68 memorabilia available - such as grad announcements. Trudy is going to see what she has.
