Old Business

 

V.             A. Election progress report: The webmaster, Bonnie Cooper, reports some initial problems; however, they were quickly addressed and the voting is now proceeding smoothly. Election results will be announced on December 9, 2001.

               

                B. Membership report: As of October 31, 2001, we have 406 active members.

 

                C. PX status: Phil Hogle reported that he is reordering the window decal, and the NASAA 4" patch. Otherwise, PX stock is in good shape.

                Phil also reported that he is looking at new items for the PX and will report back to the board.

 

                D. NASAA website. After considerable discussion regarding the need for our own domain name, it was moved and seconded that we allocate $200.00 for the purchase of  NASAA-HOME.ORG as our new address. The motion passed unanimously.

 

                E. Recognition program: The motion was made and seconded that we only recognize two organizations each year in order to properly utilize and husband our finances. The motion carried unanimously.  (Lon Mitchell signs in)

                However, following the vote there was a great deal of discussion on how to better define the categories of contribution, e.g., large organization v. individuals. No conclusion reached and it is still under consideration.

                Additional discussion followed regarding recognition awards for organizations or individuals.

                As a result, because of their service to veterans, a motion was made and seconded that the Kitchen Table Gang be awarded $200.00. A second motion was made and seconded that the outgoing chairman, Blake, (Bear), Proctor be awarded a NASAA polo shirt, a plaque and a five year free membership. Both motions passed unanimously.

VI.                  PX Transition: Some discussion as to whether we should outsource the PX function or keep it in house. Primary issue is need for better communication between board members involved with PX and membership. Phil Hogle volunteered to continue as the S-4, and the PX will continue as an in house function.

 

VII.                The motion was made and seconded to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 2256
