This is a somewhat lean agenda. I've removed the ACLU suit because
there's unlikely to be anything new on it for a number of months. If
there's anything new on credit cards, Mark can make it part of the
treasurer's report. And the planning meeting has been scheduled.
If anyone has any topic they feel the board should take up, please
mention it in this item.

Out of curiosity, do you have an actual real gavel to bang?

If I remember right, the minutes from a meeting a long, long time ago, when
there was a late quorum, depict people helping remmers to bang his gavel with
tape, staplers, and a bunch of other stuff.

(Yes, there is a real Grex gavel.)

December is the month we decide whether someone from Grex will be
notifying our landlord (in January) of our intent to renew our lease for
another year. I suspect this won't take up much time but it should be on
the agenda.

i thought the gavel was auctioned off in the Auction conf...oh yeah,
that was the grex bat that got auctioned...maybe grex should have kept the
grexbat and sold the gavel

No way! You need a gavel for any orders of buisness. One of the most prominent
rules in parliamentary procedure.

The gavel is an actual wooden gavel, which has been passed from President to
President for at least as long as I've been going to Grex board meetings.
Selling it in the auction seems like it would be a loss of tradition.

n[n] = n[n-1]+1; n[0]=1.

The gavel was a gift from Mike Smerza, one of Grex's founders.

Marcus, are you trying to signify with your code that we're making something
a lot harder than it has to be? Why not just use something like n++?

BTW, in my recent read of the bylaws, they seemed to mandate a *bi*monthly
board meeting, with special meetings as necessary. A monthyly meeting does
sound like a good idea to me, but just was wondering how it came to be a
monthly meeting instead of bimonthly...

Have a meeting each month helps make sure that the bimonthly meeting
requirement is met - remember, that's a requirement that a full
quorum of officers be present at the meeting. If we scheduled
the meetings once every two months, and then didn't make quorum,
we'd technically be in violation of the bylaws.
Waaaay back when I was on the Board, I think we skipped one month
in the summer, since we knew folks weren't going to be in town for
it anyway.
