Board members present: Warren King, Donna Pikl, Richard Milewski, Ron Dixon, Henry Neugass, Donita<\/span>
Zwolak. A quorum was present.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


Minutes review:<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>A motion to accept the minutes of the May 9, 2023 meeting was made, seconded and carried.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


Treasurer\u2019s report:<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Current total balance is $ 661.84. A payment of $190 was made to Center 50+ to cover the meeting room<\/span>
rental thru June. A motion was made, seconded and carried that authorized Donna to pay the bill for the<\/span>
next period<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


Old Business:<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
The discussion on attracting new members continued from last month. Since the rental of the facility is<\/span>
$40 per month, we need about 15 members to maintain<\/span> fi<\/span><\/span>nancial stability. <\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
Richard mentioned that he had <\/span>installed an electronic sign driven by an old Mac (donated by Ty) at Spark Studio. <\/span><\/span>It contains a slide <\/span>promoting SMUG. He suggested that we could perhaps do more locations as more old Macs are donated.<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n

Other methods of advertising were discussed and as a result a motion was made, seconded and carried<\/span>
to establish a FaceBook page & group (although there were some concern that today\u2019s \u201cyounger crowd\u201d<\/span>
no longer uses Facebook). Henry volunteered to take on the task.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n


Standing items:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
Program<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n
The July presentation will be on Apple One. The program for September will be short<\/span>
presentations by members of their favorite apps or web sites. <\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
There is no meeting in August. There was a<\/span>discussion on whether our program presentations were meeting the needs of the members and might be<\/span>
a factor in attendance and membership. Ron will send a email to members asking for their suggestions<\/span> for future presentations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
