Presidential Ponderings
by Kathie Thompson
Hello, fellow CoJ members. Last month's presentation by Mark Racop and
MagicHouse Productions was fabulous and seemed to be enjoyed by all.
This month we have Doctor Rob Pyatt doing a presentation of Weird Science.
This is something that always makes us think (even if sometime we question
the subject matter) and makes us laugh. Rob's unique way of looking at
things always inspires us.
I am looking forward to seeing you all there. Remember that you are always
welcome to bring things to nibble on and share.
Kathie Thompson,
President

Hosts for non-meeting meetings were solicited.
Board report:
None.
Other communications:
Two thank-you letters have been received from charities.
Old Business:
Audit Committee:
Wendy Carson can no longer be on the audit committee, due to a
conflict of interest with her job.
Kathie requested volunteers for the Audit Committee.
New Business:
Website:
Kathie praised the new COJ website.
Since not everybody received the instructions for updating their
information on the new website, she asked Jeff to send the instructions
out again.
Membership Cards:
Kathie has membership cards for people who have paid their dues.
Board Meeting:
The Board Meeting this Thursday at Midwest Internet.
Kathie asked Stephen to send out an email reminder.
There will be a Bylaws Caucus this year.
Kathie suggested not having a Bylaws Caucus and instead addressing
Bylaws changes as needed.
Appointed Positions:
Kathie pointed out that Lynette is our newsletter editor.
Angela and Dillan Dick are now on our Member Services committee,
headed by Emily Rodgers.
Snack Kitty:
Kathie's position is that the club should not fund snacks.
If feeding the kitty is a problem, let's do away with it, she
proposed.
Jeff reminded us that at the previous meeting that the kitty will
only cover what is put into it.
If people do not bring money or items, there may not be snacks.
Kat asked that people send a short email saying what they will be
bringing, if they know, so the Vice-President won't have to bring it.
January Treasurer's Report:
Emily Rodgers asked that anyone who wants to review the Treasurer's
report from January see her after the meeting.
Proposed Bylaws Changes:
Kat suggested changing election procedures to allow voting for
ConChair first.
Emily suggested having the Treasurer elected earlier than the other
offices, which was opposed by Jeff and many others.
Kathie pointed out that changing the election date is not likely to
cause the outgoing officers to do their jobs if they were not doing so
already.
Kathie praised Emily for working with what she was given (incomplete
books for 2009).
Andy suggested having the outgoing officers attending the first
board meeting.
Kat objected to waiting for the Bylaws Caucus because the earliest a
change proposed in September could take effect is January.
At the March board meeting one of the items on the agenda will be
changing the order of elections and the question of the Bylaws Caucus.
Speaker:
Kathie declared a five-minute break at 7:36pm. After that break, the
meeting was handed over to Mark Racop, Chuck Budreau, and Jeff Ello of
MagicHouse Productions.
The meeting resumed at 8:49pm.
Announcements:
Vice-President (Delivered by Mike Cowper): Feed the kitty!
Andy Andrews: Reminded about the Board Meeting. Talked about Who's Yer
Con, a local free gaming convention March 12-14, 2010.
Emily Rodgers: Anyone stuck at Who's Yer Con should call her; she lives
nearby.
Gary Kitchen: Discussed the local convention Anime Crossroads. Its
first staff meeting is planned for Saturday March 27.
Kat Robertson: Her son Alex was chosen as one of the top 100 students
at IUPUI and already has a job offer.
Melissa Kocias: Next month Becky and she will be doing Race for the
Cure as Team Miskatonic, helping to raise money for the Komen Foundation.
Jess Bunn: She is selling her recliner.
Mike Suess: April 25 is the next Ash Comics Show.
Randy Porter: Randy Porter: Barnes & Noble has the H.P. Lovecraft
compilation edited by S. T. Joshi. It costs $12.95 and must be special
ordered. [Secretary's note: Randy was not kidding about the special order
part. Despite Barnes & Noble's website claiming that the book was in stock
at every store in central Indiana, and the computer in the store I visited
insisting that seven copies were present, special ordering was indeed
required. --SK]
John Belden: Tomorrow is the Oscar telecast. For the third time an SF
movie could win and for the first time ever two SF movies are up for Best
Picture.
Mike Suess: The Science Channel is running a Sci-Fi Science show that
makes SF science into science that could work.
Kat Robertson: She is currently reading Stephen King's Under the Dome.
It has interesting SF aspects in addition to King's usual horror. The book
is huge. Also, thanks to the people who brought the wonderful desserts
tonight.
Ricky Lile: George RR Martin's show will be on this fall.
Mike Suess: Bill Waterson has put every single strip of Calvin and
Hobbes in three massive volumes. Bloom County is receiving the same
treatment.
Kat Robertson: Please email with suggestions for an Author GoH. Do not
forget.
Chaos occurred at 8:59pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Kendall, Secretary

Meeting was called to order at 7:06pm.
Reading of the last meeting's minutes:
The January 14, 2010, Board Meeting minutes were summarized and
approved as published.
Communications:
Treasurer's Report:
Tabled till New Business.
Member Services:
The cards that were given to Stephen have not been found.
Kathie proposed sending Emily out with money to buy more cards.
Andy said we need to delegate the job of buying the cards.
Member Activities:
None
Other Communications:
None
Old business:
August Meeting:
Due to Gen Con Kathie will talk to the church about moving the
August meeting to the second Saturday. Stephen will be late if the meeting
is held on that day.
Food Kitty:
The current practices surrounding the kitty are to bring food and
solicit donations.
The kitty issue was tabled until the outcome of that can be seen.
Updating Info on Website:
Andy reminded those present that the board members should update
their info on the members list as a good example to the members.
New Business:
Meeting Location (Again!):
Andy brought up the fact that the church has contacted Kathie
regarding our meetings.
Kathie discussed how the church contacted her last Wednesday asking
her to move the April meeting due to Easter.
The church secretary is recommending to the pastor that, due to the
conflicts between our meetings and the church's needs, that our use of
their facilities not be continued.
Kathie interprets that to mean that we will likely not be meeting
there after this year.
Wendy proposed meeting at the Jesus Metropolitan Community Church,
which is flexible on fees.
Mike raised the issue of churches requiring that a member or
particular person be present to use the facility; Wendy indicated that it
could be worked around at Jesus MCC.
Mike volunteered Midwest Internet as a location-- although he
admitted that it is too small-- and his own church, which he pointed out
was not centrally located at all.
Jeff proposed emailing this issue to the membership; Andy said he
would do it.
Proposed Bylaws Changes:
At the March business meeting Kat proposed moving ConChair to the
beginning of the election. Andy opened the point for discussion.
Kathie proposed revised wording for the election Bylaws, moving
ConChair to the first position.
Jeff reminded us that the Bylaws can be amended at any time.
Jeff moved that Kathie's amendment to the Bylaws be proposed and
Wendy seconded. The motion carried.
The amendment will be proposed to the members at the next business
meeting.
Kathie proposed that board members' job duties be redefined as
including attending the first board meeting of the new year.
Mike argued that the attendance of outgoing officers at the next
meeting was more of a standard operating procedure, as is the requirement
for an audit.
Kathie decided that an SOP be created, and asked that each board
member bring some bullet points listing their responsibilities to the next
meeting.
Bylaws Caucus:
The moving of the Bylaws Caucus was discussed.
Jeff was in favor of maintaining the current Caucus date; if members
at the October meeting do not like the output of the Caucus, they should
vote "no" rather than changing the proposed Bylaws amendment.
Emily did not understand the rationale for changing the Bylaws
Caucus, since important matters can be addressed earlier.
Lynette reminded us that the reason for the Bylaws Caucus was to
reduce Bylaws fatigue at the business meetings. Bylaws Caucuses also put
participation in the amendment process in the hands of those who are
dedicated to it.
Other Fandom Groups and InConJunction:
Who's Yer Con has offered to help with this year's InConJunction
gaming.
Andy said that this should be taken to Kat (and Kent Raquet).
The general consensus was that this should be encouraged, as should
be the participation of other SF/Fantasy/Fandom groups as much as
possible.
Budgetary Matters:
Kathie thanked the Treasurer for coming up with a budget for 2010
and requested a tentative budget for 2011.
Andy said that the reason for this would be to establish an SOP that
the approved budget for a given year is the tentative budget for the
following year.
Emily is planning to work with Mike in October to establish his
budget.
Treasurer's Report:
Emily had Treasurer's reports for January for review for anyone who
did not receive them.
The details of the report will be emailed to CoJ members under
separate cover.
Kathie moved to accept the InConJunction 30 budget as proposed. Andy
seconded. The motion carried.
Final Matters:
Kathie asked Emily to go to the store and get birthday, anniversary,
and other kinds of greeting cards. Emily agreed to do so.
Andy presented his draft email to the members about the meeting
location. Andy attempted to send it, but it failed to send.
Announcements:
Kathie: On the 27th of this moth there will be a programming meeting at
the hotel. Programming will send out an email with the times.
Andy: Emily, can a hotel be used for our meetings. (Emily: not really.)
Anjala: Found a website for promoting local events: aroundindy.com. It
might be something inexpensive to promote the convention, she thought.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:16pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Stephen Kendall, Secretary

A Few Cool Things to Do in Indy
By Lynette Cowper

hilarious story of an alien invasion and their mission to destroy the
family unit here on Earth. April 9 to 25, Buck Creek Players.
McFadden Memorial Lecture featuring Neil Gaiman: Bestselling author Neil
Gaiman (Coraline, The Graveyard Book) will be delivering the 33rd Annual

Around the World in 80 Days: London, 1872. Phileas Fogg disrupts his quiet

boat, by train, by elephant, Jules Verne's classic adventure epic is
brought to life in this funny, inventive, whirlwind tour. April 27 to May
16, Indiana Repertory Theatre.

"Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried
about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to
hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed
from any other region of the globe. The invention will also meet the
crying need for cheap transmission to great distances, more especially
over the oceans. The small working capacity of the cables and the
excessive cost of messages are now fatal impediments in the dissemination
of intelligence which can only be removed by transmission without wires."
Nikola Tesla, 1905
