Present: Barend (chair), Pauline, Richard, Mike Sangster, Dan (notes)
The Treasurer's Report
We currently have $703.00. Collection from the last Salon was $21.60.
Ann Gorman
Several board members will be attending Ann's funeral on Tuesday.
BAREND will sign a sympathy card for the rest.
Ten Year Anniversary
BAREND will ask for suggestions brainstorming. Offical 10th anniversary gift: aluminum
- Harbour Queen or Sylva Tour
- Minivan out to Peggy's Cove
- A Dance
- Theme Up Pride 10th Anniversary Elder Hop
- Winery Tour
- Tour to Annapolis Royal (2h drive.)
- What location within HRM is so connected with Gay men's history as Citadel Hill? How about some kind of tour of the Hill, with a Tea on the premises (or outside on the grass, weather permitting)?
- Planting of an Elderberry Tree on some suitable location? (Not the Hill, of course, which I think is a federal park.) We could then in future years gather round it singing songs of praise to the Elderberry Mother!
Speakers Bureau
We're still looking for a coordinator for this.
50/50 Draw
How/who and when?
Pauline suggested a couple times a year.
We'd need someone to sell the tickets - until we have them, there's not much point talking about it.
New Boardmembers
DAN will write an enthusiastic letter to the members asking them to nominate themselves - including a description of the usual tasks.
February's Program
