[Rfu-station] Membership Meeting Oct. 2, 2007, Brief Notes

[Mike Lehman]

I think we forgot to have anyone take notes at last night's meeting. 
Here are some brief notes to the best of my recollection.

There were about 20 members present.

Membership renewals -- These were taken from a number of people, along 
with the $18 annual membership. Each programming group needs to have at 
least _two_ members renew their RFU memberships for this year by Nov. 1 
to keep their programming slot. We will be verify this info, then change 
and issue the new studio lock code only to those groups who've renewed 
as of Nov. 1. You can do this at the next RFU meeting on Oct. 16 or by 
making other arrangements. Please renew your RFU membership ASAP.

Tech Work Project -- This Thursday (Oct. 4) starting at 3:30pm, Dan, Jim 
and others interested in learning more about Tech's work will give the 
studio wiring a makeover. They hope to fix many of the nagging problems. 
Depending on how much help they get, they may be able to work on the bad 
connector(s) on the sound board. This is an opportunity to get meeting 
credit for your programming group by participating in this project.

Proposal to drop inactive programming groups adopted -- Programming 
groups who have not attended a station meeting in the last six months 
and who have not signed the log recently will be dropped as inactive as 
of the next RFU meeting (Oct. 16). This should free up a number of hours 
for use by those interested in being active in the station. Please see 
previous emails for which groups haven't attended station meetings. 
Janice is compiling the log database for comparison to it.

Programming group who have not been attending station meetings -- please 
be aware RFU-Membership is now tracking meeting participation. Although 
only groups who have also not been logging their show will be eliminated 
in the near future from the schedule (see proposal we adopted on this 
above) per existing station policy and the intent of that specific 
proposal. However, we will be following up on groups who've not been 
attending station meetings before the end of the year. It is in every 
programming group's interest to attend station meetings at this point, 
if you want input on what happens to non-participating programming groups.

AON -- Will from AON came to the meeting, we discussed the situation 
that caused AON's show to be pulled in April and discussed options for 
possible return. Will has to re-evaluate things after hearing the issues 
raised about what caused the show to end on WRFU and may return with a 
proposal at a later date.

Farmers Market -- Brianne says we could still use a few more volunteers 
for the Farmers Market booth on Saturdays. You get meeting credit for 
staffing the table.

Trivia Night -- The first one at the Esquire last week was a success, 
but as long as the Cubs are still in the World Series race, may be hard 
to schedule another Thursday night. The Trivia Night crew hopes to 
schedule the next one later in October and will let us know when and 
where it will be.

I'm sure I missed a thing or to, so corrections and additions can be 
posted to the RFU list.
