Old Business
· Fall Picnic: New officers were announced. John Elfrank’s attendance prizes were a surprise with all the swag inside. Some attendance prizes were held back to give to Kat for her CITO event. Fall picnic was another successful event.
· Washington State Park: Wendee stated that we should have enough volunteers for the event. Communication with Jamie is very thin. We have been moved. We were in the first spot and now we are in the last spot.
· Business cards: Jim Greene reported that 250 cards is $50 and 500 is $65. John suggested checking out other options such as Vista Print.

Nate and Wendee with meet with Mike. Knowledge transfer to Nate. Wendee will get with Jim Nelson to ensure the $87 fee is paid by 10-16-12.
· 12/12/12: Sarah has made the final design for the 12/12/12 event. Will order 100 coins. Invoice for $803.00 needs to be paid before the company will start production. Sarah and Jim will contact Jim Nelson to arrange payment ASAP. Everything else for the event is a go.
· Wildwood: The city of Wildwood now has an official geocaching policy. It requires adherence to Groundspeak policies and prior notification of placement.

New Business

Tabled until get all the info from Mike.

· Supplies: John stated that the list of supplies is on Google/Docs. Kathy and Wendee will get together and do an inventory. Wendee asked if there were any fold in half tables. John said we currently don’t have any. He thought he had authorization from years past to purchase 2 tables and 4 chairs. He will go to Costco and purchase a table. (I checked the past minutes and purchase of 3 lightweight tables and 3-4 standard high chairs was approved January 2011)
· Q&A Mike will put together a puzzle cache Q&A and possibly a G-Sak
· Quorum: Was brought up that it’s sometimes hard to get the 2/3’s at a board meeting. John mentioned that he thought that was voted on during the last year. (I checked the minutes and didn’t see any vote on changing the quorum)
The next meeting will be Nov 7th at 7 PM. If you want to attend, please contact one of the officers.
