board mtg at all. :-)

Marcus was elucidating on the numbering scheme for the agenda.
Traditionally, during the previous presidentship, the numbering scheme
was obtuse, and an impromptu contest was held to guess what it was.

I'll add lease renewal to the agenda.
Re monthly meetings: The board started out meeting bimonthly as
per the bylaws, but during its first year of operation voted to meet
monthly, as board members felt that there was enough business to
warrant it, and that more frequent meetings would keep the conscious-
ness level higher. At the time, Grex was very much a startup
operation that had not yet achieved financial stability, so we
were continually having to worry about things like raising money
to pay next month's bills.
Meeting monthly still seems like about the right frequency, although
I don't think it would hurt to drop back to bimonthly meetings during
slower seasons (mainly summer).

And re the gavel: It's not just any old gavel, but is a Deluxe
Walnut Gavel! It's a pleasure to wield.

Actually, I was asking 'cause we sell them at work, so if there wasn't an
acutal gavel, I was gonna pick one up. And then when I saw it this evening,
I realized that you *HAD* the one from work. :)

Or course, the Grex gavel has a little brass plate thing, but there is nothing
engraved on it. Maybe we should hold a special meeting to decide what slogan
to engrave on the gavel.

Let's see: "facilius fit" would be the Latin for "It gets easier."

Re 23: A friend of a friend, an extremely bright and well-read person,
*cannot* remember the difference between the words "wield" and "weld". He
was one of the people I used to play D&D with, so the rest of us were
treated to sentences like, "Welding my fearsome katana, I charge..." :)
Yes, I know that was drift. But so was much of the preceding.

It depends on whether you allow irrational numbers for agenda items. I don't
recall any such, but that doesn't mean it won't ever be done.
