The meeting was called to order at 1:35 pm by Chairman Sally Siebe. The minutes were accepted as corrected (the headquarters hotel for the 2009 International convention in Chicago is the downtown Marriott, not the Drake). Gussie Freese reported that per Martha Norman, there were no income or disbursements from our treasury.

Sally Siebe announced that the Chairman?s manual is now available as a down-loadable pdf file on the International web site.

There are no plans yet for the March and April meetings.
Libby Yunger will contact Greenville Airport sometime next spring to see if they still want a compass rose painted on their new ramp.

The upcoming schedule for the library exhibit was discussed and clarified. Jan Pocock and Jean Murry will set up the display in December 2008.

The St. Louis County Library charges non-profit organizations $10 for use of a meeting room. Gussie Freese moved that Libby Yunger be reimbursed from the treasury, Jan Pocock seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:05 am.
