[PBSS] November 14th 2006 PBSS Meeting Notes

[Bill Bentley]

Greetings,
     The November 14th, 2006 meeting of the Permian Basin Speleological Society was held at Murray's Deli as usual ...
The meeting was promptly started at 7:14 and 30 seconds with the ritual banging of the plastic ketchup bottle....
There were 4 in attendance, thus satisfying a quorum. 
Barry handed out a printed copy of the Treasurer's report and said it was the same as was in October which was $421.93. 
We had got some "Thank You" post cards and a Thank you card from Eaton Hill for our small donation of lunch money at the Saturday meeting we had there a few months back. I can scan and send to anyone who wants copies of them. 
Old and New Business:
Barry has purchased a Lincoln Welding machine. 
We still have the Saturday December 16th, 2006 meeting and Christmas Party scheduled for Ess Cave with chili to be available and to be made by Donna Hayes. It was voted and approved that the club reimburse her for any expenses she has in the making of the chili. We will be needing other bring your own side dishes too. Contact Barry cavelizard at yahoo.com for details. Kerry Lowery will be bringing fire wood, but it probably wouldn't hurt for some others to bring some wood too. 
Rumor was that there might be some caving going on too. 

Kel will be mailing out the November newsletter with membership applications for new members and renewals in an effort to boost membership. It was voted and approved that he could use Kinko's to make so many copies and he would be reimbursed for that and any stamps he needed to buy. Copies would be mailed to past members too. 

It was voted and approved that I ask Walter Feaster if he wants to sell his survey instruments to the PBSS. 

Nominations for Officer of the PBSS for 2007:
It was voted and approved by acclamation that the current 2006 officers continue as officers in 2007. This was done since there were no nominations form the floor or otherwise, nor were there any candidates running in opposition to the current slate of officers. If any one disagrees then they can be the President and the next person that disagrees can be Vice President and so on...If you don't like this? then come to the meetings and get involved.

We started a 2007 Calendar and will be looking for more trip ideas at the Christmas Party....
