Board Minutes
By Bob Swenson, Secretary

MANHATTAN CHAPTER SPEBSQSA, INC. REGULAR BOARD MEETING - October 13, 2003, WESTBANK TOWNHOMES CLUBHOUSE

MINUTES:

Officers Present: Rodney Stanfield, Bob Swenson, Bill Bunyan, Harvey Kiser, Ken Brooks, Richard Van Nevel, Ken Garwick

Officers Absent: Mike Sexton, Bob Ridley

Others: Don Thomson

Call to Order: President Rodney Stanfield called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. with the singing of "Honey - Little 'Lize Medley".

President's Message: President Stanfield reported that he was still trying to assemble a committee to discuss the Directors Compensation subject. There appears to be quite a bit of activity in the area of ASCAP licensing but at the point we do not know what needs to be done. President Stanfield called for other items of business and it was suggested that we need to discuss our gift to Harmony Foundation for the current year. Members also reminded President Stanfield that the chapter needs a librarian and a property manager.

Officer's and Committee Reports:

Secretary: Bob Swenson presented minutes that had been prepared by board member Ken Brooks. The minutes had been distributed by email and opportunities for corrections had been made. It was moved by Bill Bunyan and seconded by Ken Garwick that we approve the minutes as distributed. Motion passed.

Treasurer: Treasurer Bill Bunyan submitted the September financial report showing a checkbook balance of $2753.92. The chapter also has $8008.45 in a money market account and a CD investment of $5135.35 making a total of $15,897.72 available for the chapter's use. The only encumbrances against that figure are for the Ray Sharp and Brown memorials. It was moved by Ken Brooks and seconded by Harvey Kiser that we accept the treasurer's report as presented. Motion passed.

VP of Chapter Development: Bob Ridley was out of town so he had no report to give. Discussion in this area turned to the reception and attention given to guests attending our meetings.
