BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

Acting President Doug Agee called the BOD meeting to order at 8:31AM. Present and constituting a quorum were:
Vice President Doug Agee, George Holloway, Bob Newman and Secretary/Treasurer Don Peppard.

Secretary/Treasurer Don Peppard presented minutes for the board meeting on June 7, 2014 and financial reports for the period ended July 31, 2014. George Holloway made a motion to approve the minutes as presented. The motion was seconded by Bob Newman. There was no July meeting. The motion carried. The treasurer’s report reflects no receipts or expenses for June or July 2014 The year to date receipts through July 31, 2014 equals $194.00 with expenditures of $46.39 which registers a net gain of $147.61. Motion by Don Peppard to file the treasurer’s report for audit. Motion seconded by Bob Newman and the motion carried.

Once again the subject of fixed assets as reflected on the balance sheet was addressed. And again the response is that we need a “clean inventory” of all properties owned by the club. With president Bill out of town such an inventory is not possible, since he has some of the property at his residence.

Today’s meeting will be a presentation comparing MAC to PC.

Acting President Doug Agee opened a discussion about future meetings.

                September 2014  Microsoft Surface / Windows 8.1 (George)

                October 2014       Windows Secrets.com Q and A

                November 2014   Ipad (George Holloway)

A discussion regarding restructuring SWIPCC’s administrative and meeting activities was joined. Our numbers are
getting smaller with meeting attendance down to 4, 5 or 6 members. Some of the BOD feel that we should continue
in a less formal manner. Continue to maintain our bank account and some records but meet in a less structured
 manner and perhaps dispense with the election of officers. Some thoughts to present to the membership.

Acting President Doug suggested that if no interesting programs were forthcoming, that we could resort to a Q and A period of discussion.

Act g President Doug Agee adjourned the BOD meeting at 8:59 AM.

After establishing a list of club assets, Treasurer Don will make a memorandum entry to the general ledger which will adjust the balance sheet to reflect a true value for club non cash assets. President Bill Roush is vacationing out of town and Doug Agee suggested we wait until Bill’s return to determine actual assets.
