sagesaria (Margaret Hogan) Fri Feb 14 15:24:36 PST 2020 Subject: Minutes From January 18 Meeting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In attendence: Margaret Hogan, Sam Hogan, Michael Houghton, Yakira Heistand, Fred Blonder, Marilyn Mix, Dave Taylor Next meeting: Saturday, April 11, 2 PM at Panera Officer elections: Nominees were Herveus as president, Margaret as VP, Sam as treasurer, Fred as trustee. No write-ins, still no secretary. All candidates voted in unanimously. Treasurer's report: 10,291.85. Down a bit, but the good news is: We have our contract with the hotel and the deposit paid. We are still working on getting a music guest of honor. Website is up and running. Hel is currently in charge of facebook page, Sam will get that information from her since marketing is technically one of his hats. We have an ad exchange with Farpoint, Free Spirit Gathering, and Faerie Fest, a fan table with Balticon, and a table at the Gaithersburg Book Festival. Capclave is interested in splitting a table. We skipped ads with Arisia this year. Wizcon and Mysticon are up in the air. We need sitters for the fantables. They are considered volunteer hours for the convention. We need full measurements and, if possible, to scale floor plans of the rooms soon. Reminder of current staff departments, as far as we're aware: Yakira: Volunteers, Vendors Herveus: Con Ops Dave: Registration Marilyn: Programming Steve: Hotel Liaison (unless something has changed to say otherwise) Margaret: Video Gaming Mike Brown: Board Gaming Blaise: Also Board Gaming Crystal: Music Programming Bambi: Mythic Marilyn will need to get registered into the system to start programming brainstorming. Future Margaret knows she is currently working on getting the committee together, but uncertain about the status of the system itself. Talk about an official walkthrough of the hotel; it is not set up yet. When it is, the ones who absolutely have to be there are Con Chair, Con Ops, and the Hotel Liaison, and others are welcome to join if they desire. Margaret desires, to get a visual for video gaming's room, if it is assigned by then. Margaret is currently trying to compile PDFs of manuals for all the games video gaming owns. Google fu has been really nice to her in this endeavor so far, but assistance in the form of finding manuals, checking that they're accurate, or making a user friendly database to be used at the convention would not be amiss.
