The meeting was called to order by John Walker at 6:10 pm.<\/p>\n
John Walker, Warren King, Richard Milewski, Donna Pikl, Ron Dixon, Henry Neugass, Donita Zwolak. A quorum was present.<\/p>\n
A motion to accept the minutes of the July 11, 2023 meeting was made, seconded and carried.<\/p>\n
Donna reported that the account balance as of the end of August was $ 661.84. The Center is owed $120
\nfor the months of June, July and September. Donna will pay that amount.<\/p>\n
The discussion on recruiting new members continued from last meeting. Richard reported
\nthat there had only been 2 visits to the new Facebook page. The consensus is that today\u2019s younger
\ncomputer users use YouTube to gain information rather than club memberships such as SMUG. It was
\nsuggested that we appoint or recruit someone with a marketing background to lead the effort to expand
\nmembership. It was also suggested that we focus our efforts on elderly housing units since there seems
\nto be a need to help that population. No actions were taken.<\/p>\n
The proposed revised by-laws were discussed and the Board voted to send them to the
\nmembership for a vote to adopt at the October meeting. Ron will ask those that will not attend in person to
\nsubmit an electronic vote via email to him.<\/p>\n
It was pointed out that dues for the coming year are due at the October meeting. It would be an
\nopportune time to have the ability to use Zelle to pay them. John will follow up.<\/p>\n
It was suggested that we target shorter presentations in the future and expand the Q & A
\nsession as part of the program to attract new members. It was also suggested that we look closely at the
\nsubject of the presentations to ensure that they are of interest to a majority of the membership. The
\nprograms thru February were set at the July meeting.<\/p>\n
Tabled indefinitely.<\/p>\n
None.<\/p>\n
Establishment of Zelle capability – John Walker<\/p>\n
The meeting was adjourned @ 7:12 pm.
