Benelisha called the meeting to order at 12:11 pm.  Benelisha read a letter from Karen Clark resigning from the Board after 11 years of service.  McAfee made the motion to make Clark emeritus member.  There being no quorum, this matter was deferred until the next meeting.

 

The minutes of the June meeting were distributed and approved as written.

 

TREASURER’S REPORT.   No report.  

 

MUSIC DEPARTMENT CHAIR’S REPORT.  No report.

 

NEW BUSINESS:  

 

Nominating Committee:  McAfee reported that although the pending bylaws revision will change our officer structure, the Board will present a slate of officers reflecting the proposed change.  Nominated are: Jim Benelisha, President; Pat Sheets, President Elect; Stephen Patrick, Secretary; Judy Slagle, Treasurer.

 

McAfee reminded everyone that the bylaw changes must be presented at two (2) consecutive meetings before then can be approved.

 

OLD BUSINESS: 

 

Slagle reported that the music faculty luncheon is planned for August 21st at noon.  A sign-up sheet is being forwarded for members to list beverages, salad, sandwiches, dessert, etc.  Set-up will begin by 11:30 am.  The music faculty will be in faculty meeting until noon.  If board members can be present by 11:30 then some business can be discussed while setting up.  An email reminder would be sent, and phone calls to others.  Invitations will be sent to all music faculty.

 

Follow-up on used music sale.  Slagle reported that the dates are still flexible depending on the amount of items donated.  Very little has been donated to date but should pick up once classes begin and people return from summer vacations.  Reminder that drop-off points are Burleson Hall (English Bldg.), Mathes Hall (Music Bldg.) and The Acoustic Coffeehouse on West Walnut Street.  The JCSO agreed to put a notice in their upcoming programs about this event.

 

Benelisha reported that Tipton Haynes was receptive for the co-hosting of an event this fall.  November could be the best time and would allow us time to schedule musicians and work out details.  Mailing lists would be shared and we can proceed.  Potential sponsors will be contacted.  Sheets distributed some possible names for the tentative fundraiser, “Wine and All that Jazz.”

 

Sheets reported that the annual fall membership drive letter would be ready for mailing in early September.  Only a few details left to add and then they can be printed. 

 

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

 

The meeting was adjourned at 12:59 pm.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Stephen Patrick, Secretary 2003-04
