H. New Business:

     Motion #1: To validate for the record the Board's specific concurrence to provide a specific European e-mail address for Majbrit, WSO Trustee and Chair of the European Committee.   (Majbrit)

Background: Often emails have first gone through Vonnie (MPS) , but the efforts need to be made to make the European Committee more visible and available to the European population. The European emails would need to get to the proper channel of European Committee and having a specific email would be beneficial for this effect. One suggested address would be: [email protected], if it is available.

Motion #2: Move for the Board's concurrence be reimbursed $93 for the expense of being sent a box of archival materials from a NY member. (Larry)

Background: A gentleman sent items to me that included a ComLine from the Chicago 1989 Business Conference with 189 delegates in attendance, carefully packaged materials including a scrapbook with pictures and accompanying notes; minutes from that conference, showing the tussles of the same kinds of issues throughout our ACA history, and other information that would be invaluable for an ACA Historical Project. This gentleman indicated his need for reimbursement in an immediate fashion as he lives on a fixed income and I was fortunate enough to be able to reimburse him; respectfully asking for reimbursement from this Board. 

 

Motion #3: Move to validate for the record, the Board's specific concurrence to approve a purchase order of 3,000 welcome chips for a cost of $690.00. (Mary Jo)

 

Background: In keeping with our guidelines for ordering merchandise, this order is 1/3 larger than normal because we are selling many more Welcome coins as time passes, and needed to come before the Board for approval.
