The March 19th meeting was attended by 9 members at the home of Dave Poland. Items discussed included the following items:
The club name is now officially registered with the state of Ohio.
The club will soon have it’s own bank account with co-signatories.
The membership in attendance reviewed a draft of the new club constitution and ratified the content unanimously.
We discussed the meeting / swap meet situation, having lost DeVry college as a venue. It was decided that to purchase an insurance policy for the swap meet would be too costly, therefore we are all looking for a space for the summer swap meet without an insurance requirement. Some ideas included public park shelter house, churches, senior centers, etc.
