EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING NOTES
February 24, 2004

The meeting was called to order at 7:15ish at Casa Cooley-Moe. President, Vice-President, and Treasurer were present. After a heated debate… well at least the coffee was heated, Mammillaria was chosen as the plant of the month. Then, Treasurer Maynard Moe jumped into action, using his keen intellect, boyish charm, and rocket fire phone skills to persuade the Skillin family to host our fair club's Yard Sale one more time. It will be May 1 (unless we change the date). Organization will begin in earnest in April. The March Program was confirmed: Collector and adventurer extraordinaire Rob Skillin will present his program, "Cacti & Conquistadores." We think the Ojai Loop Field Trip will be on May 15, Lynn will let us know for sure at the meeting. After the Treasurer's report, there was only one thing to say, "I hope the yard sale brings in lots o' dough!!" The board agreed that we need to make sure to remind everyone to pay their dues and remind everyone that the Yard Sales is a very important event, if we want to overcome the negative cash flow we are experiencing right now. The board discussed having the June meeting at the CSUB Cactus Garden, which will include a potluck and a show-and-tell in the garden. Whew hoo!! The next board meeting will be at the downright austere home of Matt & Silvia Ekegren, bring your own chair…seriously!! Meeting adjourned, 9:00pm.
