Programming: No updates
Field Trips: No report
Cable Release: Dennis will have November issue ready to email out in a couple of days. Dennis will send an email blast for a call for articles.
It was discussed how to hand off some of the activities of the CR Editor. Some of the items discussed were the Call for Entries – each month requires searching for Calls for Entries from many possible sources, and these changes monthly. Looking at the Call for Entries that was published in the CR for that month from a year ago is helpful in finding annual repeats. The cover design takes about an hour. Perhaps it could be done in InDesign? Suggestion: Include a Calendar of Events for the Year.
Website: Mark will add the link policy to our website.
Mark will loan a laptop to the club to keep as a backup in our cabinet.
Nominations: It was clarified that the Nominations committee consists of Larry Gold and Bruce Schaefer. We need to come up with descriptions of the positions and read them with the introductions before the weekly meetings.
Competition: Larry purchased ribbons for second place and will give the receipt to Bruce for reimbursement. David Blass will fill in for David Terao in the Nov 8th competition.
Membership: No report.
