Reimbursement checks to be written to Board Members, including Robin, Olyn, Linda, and Gina. The Board reviewed spreadsheets from Cindy showing money that has come in this year-to-date and expenses year-to-date. Checkbooks and all files and receipts were given to Lewis for him to take over as Treasurer for the rest of 2010.
Membership: There were 9 new members in May. Gentry reported that from now on, visitors will sign in on a sign-in sheet. Gentry will send e-mails to the members that don’t have a tax ID numbers; there are a good many members that didn’t fill it out the forms completely. Members who are slow to respond may need to be called and the Board will split up that list and follow up with them.

Discussion about what Membership manages and what the Treasurer manages. Lewis likes the system where he checks everyone in and takes in the money to cut down on members having to see three people at each meeting. Cindy pointed out that the checks and balances system requires that Lewis take in the money but that they also see Gentry to avoid all questions about money paid, etc. Gentry can then also verify that the member’s information is correct. Gentry will take care of attendance records, new member applications and visitor check in.
Blog: Gentry to update the blog with members, Robin to update with new Board, Linda to update with Print of the Month images.
Print competition: Cindy talked to Anthony about his print that won the digital category in May. He admitted that he might have entered the same print in January and since he wasn’t aware he had won, admitted that he shouldn’t win May’s category again. Therefore Tammy Cotton won Digital Art in May.
