Board Meeting Minutes (Draft)
Arizona Mineral and Mining Museum Foundation
Nov. 8, 2001
Attendees: Lavone Archer, Shirley Coté, Darrel Dodd, John Hallinan, Harvey Jong, Dana Slaughter
A quorum was not present, so no official Foundation business was conducted. However, since this was the last regularly scheduled meeting for 2001, members in attendance informally discussed items that need to be addressed before the end of the year.
Discussions
Collection Committee: Darrel Dodd pointed out that a trailer work session in December was needed to prepare for the Flagg Show. Dec. 1 and 15 were suggested as possible dates for this session. Darrel indicated that he would contact interested members via phone and/or e-mail.
Harvey Jong raised a concern about having enough minerals for the three day show. Darrel mentioned that he had contacted Les Presmyk about this issue, and Les was working on some sources of additional material.
Lavone Archer asked about geode cracking at the Flagg Show. Darrel indicated that Les was willing to provide his geode setup; however, there is an issue of acquiring a supply of good geodes.
Publicity: Harvey reported that 359 Flagg Show posters have been printed. Poster distribution has started at the Musuem, during Family Day, at MCC, and by various members. He also mentioned that a show announcement has been submitted to AAA's "Highroads" magazine and that he would hand out posters at the upcoming Phoenix Treasure Market Show.
Nominating Committee: Darrel indicated that the Committee has not met and that no nominations have been submitted. John Hallinan suggested staying the course with the current officers and trustees.
Adjournment
With no further items to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Harvey Jong, Secretary
