The July 6, 2005 Board Meeting Notes:

The monthly Board Meeting was called to order at 6:45 PM by President Dennis Backer.

Members present: John Coleman, Tina Wilson, Dennis Backer, Beverly Turner, Grace McKay, Emmett Kesel, Travis, Teri Tieman, Larry Goldsmith and John Primm.

Minutes – John Primm:  The minutes of the June meeting were read. There was an amendment to the minutes from the last meeting where they were talking about community fund raising events. A correction was made, saying that they were not weekly events, but they are monthly events or sporadic events. A motion was made by John Coleman that the minutes be approved and accepted, and Grace seconded the motion

Treasurer's Report – Emmett Kesel:  In the past six months, we spent $1,709.50, and we took in $2,720.55. Those were the total expenses for the past six months. We brought in $1,011.00. We spent $351 more than we took in. We spent $160 in the last month. The convention, and the meetings were $274, and the photo copy was $7.32. We paid two associate memberships, and it was reminded to send in a national membership for Tina Wilson. It was also mentioned that we need to change the name of the organization with the bank account. Susan Reeks has been the one to get everything together for the chapter. Dennis proposed that it would be easier to start with a new bank from scratch. So we would need to get documentation from Susan. A resolution was made to make the change, and the board approved.

(At this point Tina’s note taking machine lost battery power and the following much less detailed minutes were taken by John Primm)

Programming - John Coleman:   July 20 is the summer party at Gary Stone’s.  Unlike years past, it will happen on our regular Wednesday night instead of a weekend.  August 17 will be a Bonanza Mixer at the Water’s Restaurant on the lake in Woodbridge.  This is going to be a real business mixer, rather than just a social.  John is looking for more ideas for the fall.  Travis will create a Flash file for an extra e-mail about the event.  John wants a committee to help publicize this to the other groups.  It was approved to offer Karen Carlson $100 for being a guest speaker.  There will be a “big” raffle prize and members will be asked to give away their time for their services.

Greg Jacobs of Magellan Media is the head of sponsorships for MAOC and will be working for MCA-I as well to obtain corporate sponsors.  Dennis will call Greg to confirm his participation.

Registration - Emmett Kesel and John Primm:  We will be there.

Membership - Emmett Kesel and John Primm:  John now has the membership list and will call on members who haven’t renewed.  John will type a list of all current members and make it available on the web site.

Communications and PR - Susan Wilcox, Teri Tieman:  Teri will do PR about Home Movie Day August 13th.

Website - Grace McKay: Visual changes are currently underway.

Old Business: Swap Meet will be at Irvine Studios on September 16.  Larry has spoken with PVN and they will be involved.  Beverly Turner is working with Larry this event.

A belated Shining Star Award was given to Tina Wilson for her hard work for the Newport Beach Film Festival and for her phone work.
