      -They are happy to have us.   6-midnight is $400ish.   From midnight to 2am is another $400ish.   The space is reserved for us for the 24 th of March, 2006.   This date is a change from the 25 th to Friday 24 th due to space constraints.   Subcommittee meeting planned for Wednesday   2/22/06.  

Motion:   to set aside $250 for the space.   Passed Unanimously

•  Bylaws

-Motion:   to approve bylaws with corrections to be made… Passed Unanimously

•  Motion:   To keep the treasurer as the approval point for expenditures under $20.   Seconded.   Discussion:   Does “approval” by the treasurer keep people from effectively doing their service jobs?   Since we don't have committee budgets, we have no other limiting force.   Passed 9-1   Minority opinion is that the wording should be changed from approval.            

•  NYIWS:   We recommend that the YP general service panel run as the other panels traditionally do, with panelist selection taking place as normal.   The focus of the panel as we understand it is to report on our general service activities.   Unanimous sentiment.

•  Elections:   2-6pm at Vet's Hospital.   30 positions to elect.   Eat early, vote as we go.   Potluck coordination needed.
