Friday, March 26, 2004

Location: SCLS Blue Room

Present: C. Guzzo, D. Bucher, M. Fusco, R. McEneaney, J. Clemens, E. Cummings-Young (NCLA Rep), H. Biblo, S. Johnson, F. Byrne, E.R. Capitanio, L. Squires, W. Salas, G. Pepa, S. Holden, R. Dressler, S. Gottesman, S. Ingram, P. Thomson.

S. Ingram called the meeting to order at 10:04AM.  The February minutes were reviewed.  S. Gottesman made a motion to accept the minutes as corrected, D. Bucher seconded.  None were opposed. 

TREASURER’S REPORT:  P. Thomson read the Treasurer’s report.  The report showed a fund balance of  $45,125.09 as of the end of February 2004.  S. Johnson moved to accept the report as written, R. Dressler seconded.  None were opposed.  E.R. Capitanio asked if the fund balance was earmarked for a particular purpose, as the IRS typically requires that income tax be paid if a non-profit organization has a profit that exceeds $25,000.  P. Thomson read the report regarding outstanding bills, as of the date of the report, there was $1394 still needing to be distributed.  The following expenses were approved: for Legislation -- $9.98 for mailing, $202.50 for food, $241.95 for M. Firestone for beverages, $450 for NCLA for half of the second bus needed ($425 for the bus and $25 for the additional stop).  R. Dressler made the motion, and S Gottesman seconded.  There were no objections.  For the newsletter: $140.40 was approved for postage for March/April/May mailing of the SCLA newsletter, and $525 for the printing of the newsletter.  E.R. Capitanio made the motion, and F. Byrne seconded.  None were opposed.  The Continuing Education committee submitted a request for $10.10 for refreshment expenses for the workshop “How to Run an Effective Meeting.”  J. Clemens asked if there was a registration fee.  When she learned that there was, she felt that the fee collected should cover the expense of refreshments.  D. Bucher stated that she felt that if the expense wasn’t approved ahead of time, that it shouldn’t be approved.  There was some discussion, and some questions came up, but as there wasn’t a representative to answer the questions, P. Thomson suggested that the vote be tabled until there could be discussion and specific questions could be answered.  R. Dressler thought that the subject of program and expenses had been addressed during her tenure as President of SCLA, and that all programs were expected to be self-sustaining.  J. Clemens said that, she too, tried to stress to everyone that programs be self-sustaining.  The vote was tabled until April’s meeting.  S. Ingram reminded everyone that financial reports from each Division need to be submitted in a timely fashion each month.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT: C. Guzzo thanked S. Johnson for all of her efforts in coordinating the Legislative Bus Trip to Albany.  Cindy reported that she heard nothing but great things about the day, and many people agreed that everything ran very smoothly and that it was an effective day. 

DIVISION REPORTS

DASL: R. McEneaney offered the following report.  DASL cancelled their web-publishing program on Homesite, as only one person registered.  The other two programs, designed to instruct on Dreamweaver (taught by Kim Owens) and FrontPage (taught by Scott Mandia).  These workshops will be held at SCCC, Selden Campus.  A business meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 2^nd.  Also, DASL will be sponsoring a program at the Long Island Library Conference on May 5^th.  The program is called “As Time Goes By: Creating an Oral History of Your Community or Institution” and will be presented by Elly Shodell, Director of the Port Washington Public Library's 15-year-old oral history program and author and editor of many local history books.  The program will address how to preserve your institutional or community memory with an oral history project.  They had to switch their program slot, as their speaker wasn’t available for the initial timeslot.  DASL is also working on a tour at Brookhaven National Lab for June, but they have to work on security clearance.  S. Ingram had attended the last DASL meeting, and was impressed with the idea of using literature from other libraries to promote services.  He thought that SCLA could expand on that idea, perhaps in time for the Long Island Library Conference, and suggested that the listserv be used.  S. Ingram asked for a volunteer to help with the project, and Regina said she would help, as she shares an office with K. McCoy.  Stephen and Regina will touch base within the next few days to arrange for a contact person.  Anything that promotes libraries will be solicited.  D. Bucher also offered to help with the project, if necessary.

RASD: S. Gottesman offered the following report.  RASD last met on March 2^nd at Brentwood.  C.A.R.E met at the One-Step Career Center on March 19, 2004.  At last meeting, there were 15 people signed up to attend.   There was nothing to report for Electronic Resources, Health Concerns, Historian, Long Island History, or the Multicultural/Multilingual committee.  Regarding Membership, Jo-Ann Carhart reported that S. Ingram met with the division membership chairs at East Northport on March 23 to discuss coordination and direction to increase membership and member participation.  The Reader’s Advisory committee will next meet on April 22 and the committee will report on Short Story Collections.  The next RASD meeting will be held on April 2 at Central Islip.

CATS: E.R. Capitanio offered the following report.   CATS Executive Board met on Tuesday. March 16^th at SCLS.  The first half of the PowerPoint workshop was held on March 5^th, with 24 people attending.  The second part of the workshop is scheduled for April 30^th.  The Technical Services Open Forum was held on Monday, March 22^nd at Sachem Library.  The panel members included Sue Ketcham from LIU/Southampton College, Michael Aloi of Dowling College, Regina McEneaney of Suffolk Community College, Kathy Irish of Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Public Library, and Sue Goldman of The Smithtown Library.  There were 68 people who attended to hear the panel discuss workflow, acquisitions, processing, outsourcing, and other topics.  Renee also complimented C. Guzzo on doing a great job as moderator.  The CATS Board has sent a letter to the Long Island Library Conference Committee regarding the schedule of programs for the 2004 conference.  A copy of that letter has also been presented to the President and Vice President of SCLA.  The Board decided to purchase lid grippers with the CATS logo on them to hand out at the Conference.  Plans are being made for a raffle and handouts at the table.  CATS has requested a master membership list so they can determine if a program participant is a member of SCLA.  R. McEneaney has given that list to Renee today.  This is especially important for a full-day Fred Pryor Workshop on “Managing Priorities and Meeting Deadlines” program to be offered on June 7^th.  In order to make this program self-supporting (all of CATS programs are self-supporting), the fee has been set at $50 for members and $70 for non-members.  Since CATS has not sponsored a program like this in some time, they are concerned about whether or not they will have full registration.  They will have to have a full registration of 50 people in order to meet the cost of the program.  In addition, CATS has scheduled a program called “De-mystifying Dewey”, a full day workshop on Dewey number building to be given by Tom Cohn of Huntington Public Library.  The program will be held on Tuesday, April 27^th at SCLS.  S. Ingram asked if the program was posted on SCLA’s web page.  Renee said it would once program flyers are created.  Cindy said she felt that, due to the nature of the scheduling problems at the Long Island Library Conference this year, she felt it would be appropriate to offer both CATS and YASD $250 for a program later in the year.  J. Clemens asked if this money would be coming from the Long Island Library Conference.  Cindy said no, the money would come from SCLA.  Joan asked if the money had to be used for a program, and S. Ingram said yes.  L. Squires said that, regarding YASD, funding for this year’s program was to come from NCLA.  D. Bucher asked if CATS had a program arranged for, and Renee said that they did.  The topic was to be RFID, and the speaker was arranged for.  S. Ingram said that this concept would be up for discussion for future years, that this vote would not be a precedent, but rather a reaction to this year’s specific circumstances.  Cindy asked for a motion to offer CATS and YASD $250 each for programs that are to be approved by the SCLA Executive Board.  R. McEneaney made the motion, and R. Dressler seconded.  None were opposed.  P. Thomson asked all division and committee members to encourage their members to attend the conference, as the success of the Long Island Library Conference benefits all of SCLA.  D. Bucher said she felt that it should be a given that all Divisions be represented.  Stephen said that he felt the SCLA Handbook needed to be updated to reflect representation at the Long Island Library Conference from all aspects of SCLA.

SSD: F. Byrne offered the following report.  The Support Staff Division met on March 9.  Regarding membership, in Anne McCaffrey’s absence, Fran attended the membership meeting being held at East Northport Library by S. Ingram on Tuesday, March 23.  Regarding the Long Island Library Conference, SSD’s program description has been edited and our exhibit table has been reserved – thanks to the conference committee for their help.  We’re hoping to have all of Valerie Lewis’ handouts available online.  All give-away items have been ordered, and will include pencils, pens, and key rings.  Regarding programming, will be hosting our Annual Roundtable Discussion on Wednesday, April 28 at the West Babylon Library.  SSD’s General Meeting and Breakfast program will be held on September 22, 2004 at SCLS.  The guest speaker for the program will be Jean Maloney from EAP who will be discussing personal safety.  Regarding SSD’s website, Joe Loughren has been very helpful in keeping our website current and will be presenting a report to the SSD Board every month.  Regarding SSD’s Constitution, they are presently reviewing our Constitution and by-laws.  We noticed that only one signature is required for checks from SCLA but were curious to know who the authorized signers on that account are for comparison purposes.  Fran reported that SSD uses both flyers and the listserv for self-promotion, and it works very well for them.  S. Ingram stressed that he felt this was a good idea for all divisions.

YASD: L. Squires offered the following report.  The following programs are scheduled: on Thursday, April 8 a roundtable on collection development and challenges will be held at the Riverhead Public Library.  On Thursday, May 13, a roundtable on new books for Young Adults will be held.  The location will be announced when details are finalized.  An evening get-together to discuss Adult books with YA appeal is scheduled for Friday, April 2^nd.  And YASD will be selling candy bars at Long Island Library Conference to raise money for Battle of the Books.  The candy sale will continue throughout the summer.  Computer Associates stopped underwriting the event two years ago, and so there is a need for financial support.  YASD almost had a sponsor for this year’s event, but it fell through at the last minute. 

COMMITTEE REPORTS

ARCHIVES: No report.

CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS: No report.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: P. Thomson read the following report.  C. Gray and K. Baudouin met with the Nassau Library Association Continuing Education Committee on March 11.  The committees discussed their co-sponsorship of the Long Island Library Conference program “Personality Type - What's Yours: The Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator”.  Laura Goudket, the Chair of NCLA’s Continuing Education Committee, has been working with the speaker of that program to create future workshops on personality type that might be co-sponsored by both committees.  The committees had envisioned the Conference program as an opportunity to build interest in a future program on the topic.  While Laura Goudket had obtained funding for such a program via the NLA budget, the potential speaker’s fees seemed to “grow”, bringing into question Laura’s ability to hire the speaker for a June program.  We were left with much uncertainty.  The Continuing Education Committee met again on March 23.  In attendance were K. Baudouin, C. Gray, Diane Holliday, Arlene Lesser, and S. Sessa.  They discussed their ongoing attempts to develop a fully functioning SCLA Continuing Education Calendar for the organization.  Sheryl will be speaking with S. Ingram on the details.  They discussed the success of our February 26^th Workshop entitled “How to Run an Effective Meeting”.  The feedback supplied on the speaker evaluations were overwhelming positive.  The attendance was sufficient for the committee to make approximately $110.00 profit.   Since our March 11^th meeting with NCLA Continuing Education, Laura Goudket notified us that she was able to procure a different speaker for a June workshop on personality types. It can be held at Farmingdale Library with both committees co-sponsoring.  SCLA would not need to supply funding as the speaker in quite inexpensive and budgeting issues for it are being dealt with by NLA.  More information will be supplied as details develop.  The committee also discussed possible programs including “serving patrons from different cultures”.  They are researching the details.  Given the success of our bus trip to the Museum of Natural History and the NY Historical Society, another field trip was discussed.  Each person on the committee selected two city museums with library collections and began preliminary research.  They will continue to weigh the options and select a destination for our next adventure.

ELSA: G. Pepa reported that, with the great assistance of S. Ingram, the ELSA brochure is at the printer.  They will be available initially at the Long Island Library Conference, and a mass mailing and posting on the SCLA website will follow.  Each packet typically includes two flyers to be posted in both public and staff areas for each library’s use.  The committee proposes that these flyers also be printed by SCLS.  They would like to print roughly 150 flyers.  In the past, this has been done at the Smithtown Library at no cost to the association.  The committee is also requesting a current list of membership labels for our mailing, as well

FALL DINNER: D. Bucher and M. Fusco reported that they have already begun to identify possible locations for this year’s dinner.  Possible locations include Captain Bill’s, Dowling College, and the Brentwood Country Club, among other locations.  They will have a better idea regarding the location at next month’s meeting.  The date of the dinner is November 12^th, and they will submit a ‘Save This Date’ reminder for the next SCLA newsletter.  They will gladly accept any ideas regarding the dinner.  One idea being considered is a 50/50 raffle fundraiser.  Another idea is to have a raffle, with half of the money generated going to SCLA, and the other half being divided among a number of winners.  Another idea is to clearly identify the purpose of the money being generated with that raffle.  S. Johnson reported that, in the past, there were raffles similar to this.  C. Guzzo said that she thinks some of the concern is that these types of raffles may compete with the Scholarship raffle.    E.R. Capitanio stressed that we encourage all of our colleagues to attend this dinner.  D. Bucher reported that the attendance for past dinners has been excellent, but that perhaps SCLA wants to consider subsidizing the cost of the dinner to encourage more people to attend.  P. Thomson reported that she has heard from others that the cost of the dinner is a reason why some choose not to attend.  L. Squires suggested that a structured conversation about how to spend SCLA’s income be added to next month’s agenda.

INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM: No report.

LDA AWARD: P. Thomson read the following report.  The LDA Award brochures were received and distributed. They were routed through the SCLS delivery system whenever possible. A total of 190 brochures were sent to members through the U.S. mail, and the cost of postage was $70.30.  P. Bornstein spoke with Tom Bazzicalupo, NCLA LDA Award Chairperson. So far, two people who are interested in sponsoring candidates have telephoned him. The deadline for submission of candidate information packets is April 1st.

LEGISLATIVE: S. Johnson reported that Library Legislation Day, which was on March 16^th, was a great success despite the weather.  There were 48 people who traveled on the SCLA bus, with another 12 people signed up for the second bus that was split with NCLA.  A total of 77 people signed up, and checks were non-refundable.  There were several cancellations due to the weather forecast, but those who did make the trip reported having positive interactions with their legislators.  Also, the food and company were very enjoyable as well.  S. Johnson submitted several bills to be paid.  Thanks to F. Altemose for reserving the bus and requesting the driver, Kiki Collins, who was incredibly calm and adept under terrible driving conditions.  Our legislators indicated that not only would the 5% cut be restored, but there would be additional funds added to library aid.  The day began in Meeting Room 6 with Library Rave featuring Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.  Individual meetings with legislators were crowded and upbeat.  Letters and e-mails sent by Suffolk County residents were read and acknowledged.  Suzanne wanted to thank her NCLA counterpart, Maureen Chiofalo, who has been very cooperative, Flo Denny for arranging for the bagels for breakfast, M. Firestone for arranging for refreshments, and Suzanne’s Longwood colleagues for helping with the distribution of food.  Thanks were also offered to J. Nichols for hosting the “Library Advocacy Afternoon” on Monday, March 8^th, where 20 people attended and learned what to expect in Albany.  SCLS covered the cost for printing the flyers.  In other news, Suzanne attended a meeting of the LILRC Legislation committee at the Farmingdale Public Library.  LILRC made the appointments for Library Legislation Day, and she thanked them for their efforts.  There was a Legislative Breakfast scheduled for February 13^th in the Huntington Zone, and Suzanne understands that it went very well.  NCLA held a Legislative Brunch on March 5^th for Directors and Legislators.  There has been some discussion about holding a legislative event at the 2005 Long Island Library Conference.  Space and logistics are issues to be addressed.  Current NYLA President and Legislative Committee member Art Friedman would like to address other legislative issues such as Wick’s Law, mandates for library service, the No Child Left Behind Act, the Patriot Act, and copyright among other issues.  R. McEneaney commented on how in past years, those who attended Library Legislation Day spoke to aides, and how this year most people in attendance spoke to their legislators.  She also commented on how small gifts, such as post-it cubes for a legislator’s desk, appeared to be used and that SCLA may want to consider for the future.  G. Pepa noted that Peter Ward and Jerry Nichols did speak to Governor Pataki.  Suzanne noted that NCLA will contract next year for 2 buses, and she suggests that SCLA budget to contract for 2 buses as well for the 2005 Legislative Bus Trip.  She suggested that each bus only deal with one location on the LIE to make logistics easier.  H. Biblo asked about SCLA’s position regarding a Legislative Breakfast or similar event.  Suzanne, as Legislative chair, made the suggestion that SCLA not sponsor a legislative event this year.  Joan Clemens voiced her agreement.  It was decided that SCLA would not sponsor a legislative event this year.  Herb said that LILRC might have their own event. S. Ingram said that SCLA is more than willing to consider getting back involved in future years.  It was also reported that PLDA is going to sponsor a legislative event of some sort this year, and that J. Nichols is promoting more local visits to legislators throughout the year.  Herb acknowledged the good 15 year partnership LILRC and SCLA have had regarding the Legislative Breakfast, and said that LILRC would be willing to work with SCLA again in the future for that purpose.

LISTSERV:  R. McEneaney reported that SCLA currently has the 892 people subscribed to the SCLA-LIST from last month, plus an additional 25 people from the last two weeks who have subscribed.

L.I. LIBRARY CONFERENCE: P. Thomson read the following report.  The committee met on March 15^th, with 12 people in attendance at the Sachem Public Library.  Plans were made, addressing program sessions and keynote speaker selection.  The finalization of the plans for the 2004 conference is progressing well.  The registration form was distributed electronically though both the SCLA and LILib list serves.  A full, printed registration form will be distributed through the county systems and US Mail as soon as the most recent switches in the program slot have been made.  The search for a new venue continues.  Several locations are being considered and visits are planned for next week.  They are seeking to find a venue allowing for more program slots and the ability to have a lunch that does not require two rooms or a breakdown time before programs can continue.  Nancy Sherwood, next year’s Chairperson, is spearheading this search.  The keynote speaker for this year’s conference is award-winning essayist Roger Rosenblatt.  Mr. Rosenblatt was persuaded to accept the role through the kind efforts of Helen Crosson, Director of the Cold Spring Harbor Public Library.  They have no doubt that the presentation by Mr. Rosenblatt will be a memorable one.  The committee thanks Helen for her help in obtaining him.  The next meeting is scheduled for April 14^th at the Sachem Public Library to finalize the Conference brochure and planning activities

LONG RANGE PLANNING: S. Holden reported that the last meeting was held on March 24^th at the Northport Public Library.  There were 7 people in attendance.  The next activity scheduled is the Student Colloquium scheduled for April 6^th at St. John’s University, Oakdale Campus.  The name of the program is “Meet the Professionals”, and various librarians will speak on a host of issues relevant to students in the field.  This is the first visit to St. John’s University.

MEMBERSHIP: R. McEneaney reported that SCLA currently has 773 members, 467 of which have renewed for 2004.  There are 296 people in the database that were members between 1996 and 2002 that have not renewed.  Regina will be sending reminders out at the end of next week.  The Membership committee met March 23 to develop ways to promote SCLA and increase membership.  They came up with many suggestions, including a welcome packet for new and existing members, division vice-presidents to attend meetings of other divisions, place a brief history of SCLA prominently on the web page, consider having half price membership for those people joining for the first time half way through the membership year.  Everybody agreed that it was a very productive meeting.

NEWSLETTER: P. Thomson read the following report.  The newsletter is out for the quarter.  B. Hoffman is aware that http:// needs to be added to the web address in the newsletter, because she tried scla.net and it didn’t work for her.  She also noticed that Angie’s name is still listed as a contact person on the SCLA web site.  Barbara apologized for not being able to add some of the articles that came in after the newsletter went to press.  She did the best she could to fill the space that was being held for articles that weren’t submitted on time by taking information from the division’s websites.  It appears that the problems with the new printer have been ironed out.  Thanks to S. Ingram and Aurora Tiffany for their help with that issue.

NOMINATING: No report.

PROFESSIONAL CONCERNS: No report.

PUBLIC AWARENESS/PUBLICITY: W. Salas reported that April 6^th has been confirmed as the date for SCLA’s visit to St. John’s University, Oakdale Campus.  Approximately 30 library science students, 20 alumni, and faculty will attend the student colloquium.  SCLA representatives that have committed to speaking and their topics are as follows: Dave Jones, Young Adult services, Tracey Firestone, Live Librarian, James Olney, special libraries, Edana Cichanowicz, Reference services, William Salas, multicultural services.  The following people may attend: Stephen Ingram, civil service, Julie McKay, Children’s services.  In addition to their field of librarianship, speakers will address the importance of joining professional organizations such as SCLA.

SCHOLARSHIP: P. Thomson read the following report.  The Scholarship Committee has been formed with representatives from young adult, audio-visual, juvenile, academic, and public service, as well as SCLS.  They have been working on obtaining commitments for raffle prizes.  Thus far, they have a $100 donation from Midwest Tapes, Staller Center tickets, and an event at the Wang Center at Stony Brook University.  As soon as the donations are finalized, A. Richards will have the raffle booklets printed and delivered to R. McEneaney for distribution after the Long Island Library Conference.  So far there have been 7 requests for scholarship applications.  The deadline for submitting all information is June 1^st.

STATISTICAL SURVEY: No report. 

SUFFOLK COUNTY JAILS LIBRARY SERVICE: No report. 

WEB PAGE: No report.  S. Ingram asked that everyone use the web page more to advertise upcoming programs.  He also thanked D. Zubiller for all of her help with the web page.

LIAISONS

CLASC: No report. 

BOCES: No report.

LILRC: H. Biblo reported that the Digitization Project is progressing nicely.  A number of upcoming programs were announced.  Details about these and other programs can be found at www.lilrc.org.  November 4^th and 5^th will be the dates for the LILRC Annual Dinner and Conference at Dowling College.  This year’s topic is 20/10: Library Vision.  There are already three speakers in place for the event.  LILRC’s Business Meeting is set for November 18^th, and Michael Borgess, the new Executive Director of NYLA, will speak.

LVA-SC: No report.

NCLA: E. Cummings-Young, the NCLA Representative reported that NCLA is speaking to Queens College regarding their Library Management program.  Everyone welcomed Elaine to the meeting. 

PLDA: P. Thomson read the following report.  PLDA has formed a committee comprised of a member from each Zone to plan a legislative event.  Committee members are meeting on Friday, March 26^th to discuss the event.  They hope to have more information for PLDA’s next Executive Meeting on April 14^th.

SCLS: No report.

SLA: J. Olney submitted a program flyer to be circulated.  The program is a jointly sponsored breakfast with MEDLI, scheduled for April 21 at 9:30am at Farmingdale Public Library.  The topic is “Getting Your Message Across”.  Details detailing registration is available on the flyer.

Members-At-Large: P. Thomson read the following report.  F. Altemose has researched items for SCLA to hand out at the Long Island Library Conference, and sent the information about each item to C. Guzzo.  If the order is placed by April 3^rd, then they would be received one week before the Conference.   Fran will be back on April 1^st to check on the selection, put together camera-ready artwork, and place the order.  Descriptions for each item were passed around, and discussed.  Some of the pricing wasn’t clear, so a motion was made to allow for a maximum of $1.00 to be spent per item.  S. Johnson made the motion, C. Guzzo seconded.  None were opposed.  A list of first, second, and third choices for items were created for Fran to work with.

OLD BUSINESS: No report.

NEW BUSINESS: No report.

OTHER: S. Ingram presented a new design for SCLA stationery.  He had requested a sample of the old SCLA envelope to coordinate a design for that as well.  Stephen also suggested having a general SCLA business card.  J. Clemens commented that she thought it was a good idea.  The idea of changing the stationery was discussed.  Angie’s name and the old SCLA phone number would have to be removed.  After much discussion, S. Gottesman made a motion to use the new logo for the SCLA stationery.  W. Salas seconded.  None were opposed.  J. Clemens clarified where the stationery would be stored, and reminded everyone that it is only to be used for official correspondence.  If anyone needs stationery before the next meeting, please contact Stephen.  On another note, R. McEneaney commented that she managed to save money in the past by sending scholarship raffle tickets with membership cards in the past. Regina now feels that the membership card should be sent separately, as early as the beginning of the year.  This would mean an approximate increase of 200 pieces of mail.  R. Dressler suggested that perhaps the newsletter could be posted on the web, and an e-mail notification could be sent when the new newsletter was posted.  There was much discussion, but many people felt that the newsletter wouldn’t be read by as many people if we relied only on an electronic format.  F. Byrne suggested that the listserv be used to encourage membership for SCLA and Division membership.  Everyone agreed that was a good idea.  Regarding SCLA’s tax status, H. Biblo suggested that NCLA be contacted, as they seem to carry a large bank balance from month to month.  They may be able to offer suggestions as to how they protect their tax-exempt status.

 S. Ingram adjourned the meeting at 12:15PM
