I think we spent closer to $400 last year,
even though our bank account wasn’t so great. We were supposed to sell Kiki
wood, but never got any. I propose that we get some of this wood this year from
someone.
I think we can eliminate “anubias on
a stick” since it is way overpriced. I still have the list from last year
for the stuff we got, so we can look it over at the next board meeting, or
would that not be early enough for Sam to order the plants?
Sorry I missed the meeting. I was thinking
Tuesday since we have only met Tuesdays or Thursdays. I haven’t been
feeling so good lately, but I am on the upswing now.
It would be nice if we could to do a group
order for Lesco plant substrate. I don’t know, I work at Fred Meyer now,
and they have forklifts. Maybe they could have it delivered to garden
department. I could always ask the store director.

board minutes
12/15/07
Attendence:
Board:Paul Wallace, Christine Renneger, Meredith Crichton
Absent Susan and Matt
other members present: Jennifer, Megan, Katarina and of course Steve Ward
1) Home Show, Matt has asked for input on rules. We suggest
prizes for each participant ( some from auction donations, one suggestion was
holiday fish ornaments that could be purchased after xmas, other prizes could
be purchased)
Have alot of catagories. In the memorable past we have not been too
competative. Go for it.
2) Matt will put our club listing in the AQ mag soon and will bring the backup
CD for the membership cards to the next meeting.
3) Bank, last months minutes over estimated the account balace by $1000, I'm claiming a
typo on that one. Paul and Meredith were added to the clubs account as
signers in an amazingly painless process (Crown Hill WAMU). The account
number is the same and the Paypal is already set up. Susan will be
attempting to teach Meredith and Paul about the treasurer job so we can be
back-ups.
4)Paul's questions
Conway as sponsor? fine he does offer discount. too bad his store is so
far away
Doran Store/website sponsor? review when reality
Later w/Erik and Paul
Website update (schedule ?)
Membership (purge, warning?)
5) February plant auction
spend about $250, ask for alternative mosses (singapore, taiwan) unusual ferns
crypts, apongegetums, foregrond plants, submersed plants (if any of these are
posibilities)
We barely broke even on the "anubias on wood" last
year
we hope the annual miracle happens and mysterious Sam will find out about this
Meredith and Susan picked up the plants last year (hey S, roadtrip?, M)
Erik is the con on this project. Tell us if you need anything specific.
6) Jack is ready to go for the Jan meeting, Feb is plant Auction, Paul is
working on March. Guppy Bob was suggested.
7) Holiday party reviewed: Ham was fantastic. Christine will be allowed
to host as many parties as she wishes (and probably more) Thank you to Erik for
FISHO, and Florian for major food hauling. Thank you to the people who
helped clean up. I had a great time with the crafts. Small
attendence but good food and fun.
respectfully submitted, Meredith Crichton, Secretary
