Robert's Rules of Order were suspended for all actions except motions.

There were no officer, board or standing committee reports.

There were no special orders addressed.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

    We discussed the button that Sue Soden will be creating for "Gifted"
    items. A suggestion was made that we use the term "Gifted" for the
    button. We agreed to title the button "Gifted" instead of "Donated."
    This reserves "Donated" for donated resources. Connie Burkett took for
    action notifying Sue Soden.

NEW BUSINESS:

    A discussion was held concerning the inappropriate language that has
    been used on the Census mail list. The poster was unsubscribed
    immediately. We agreed that Wayne Duncan would post an apology to the
    list. He posted a proposed apology letter. With minor changes, the
    letter was approved and posted to the appropriate mail list.

Wayne Duncan adjourned the meeting.
