auction. If this auction is anything like the ones we had in 1996 then I can assure you it will be a great success. Not only that, it makes for one of the most enjoyable meetings we have for the year.
President's Corner By Mike Fitzpatrick
Apri~ 1997
I'm really looking forward to the auction this April. Hopefully we can encourage ALL Atari enthusiasts to attend and maybe not so tight with the purse strings. Again member Don Langford and our Treasurer Greg Leitner wmbe running the auction.
So mark your calendars for April 11, and we will all have a great time. See you at the auction.
Minutes Of Space Meeting
Mar. 14th, 1997
Space meeting opened at 7:35 PM. Mike Fitzpatrick, club president, welcomed members to the meeting.
A bit of sad news: I will be leaving the state soon and will have to resign as your president. The good news is: you do have a capable officer corps and one member has volunteered to take on the job of vice-president when the office is vacated.
Mike Fitzpatrick asked for approval of Treasury and Secretary report as stated in March newsletter. Motion made, seconded, and approved.
The Video-61 BBS is improving weekly and has taken on a personality all it's own. Give it a call.
Greg Leintner reported not much income for April meeting. $20 in sales and $15 in expenses. Net income $5. Treasury balance at $496. First quarter room rent due by next meeting, which is $105. Membership renewal received from RED.
See you at the meeting.
Treasurer's Report
OLD BUSINESS-
NONE
by Greg Leitner
Well Mother Nature did it again. This must have been about three months this winter that our meetings have been affected by bad weather. Our March meeting was sparse but I must say it was very productive. We had two membership renewals for the month, one from Red
all the way from Arizona. I am happy to hear that we will being seeing Red for at least another year, but it won't be until our weather improves and who knows when that will be.
NEW BUSINESSUpcoming Space club auction will be conducted by Don Langford and Greg Leitner again. Some of Space club's property will be auctioned off. Next meeting will be devoted to auction preparations. Members are asked to bring their items they want to sell in auction. Greg Leitner touched on how the CD Rom development is going for the Atari 8-bit. Lance Ringquist said Bob Klass and Bob Puff are involved in the CD Rom development for the Atari 8-bit. French are coming up with a variation of the Atari Falcon.
Our DOM sales also were pretty good for the few members that showed, and along with the two memberships we took in S61.88 for the month of March. Our expenses were for the Newsletter and I just got the bill for the first quarter room rental which is our largest on-going expenditure. Since I will be paying for the room rental before the next meeting I am showing our balance with that expense already deducted from our bank balance which now stands at $439.46 for the month ended March 1997. Because the next room rental billing will not be due until the end of June we have a great opportunity to improve our cash flow. An auction will take place at the April meeting and we need everyone's help to make it a success. Mot only do we need your attendance to bid on items, we also need your help to dig out those computer related items that have been taking up so much of your precious space at home. You wouldn't believe what you can sell at an auction. What might not have any value left in your eyes may be something someone has been looking for and could not find.
