Mark Lang filled in as secretary since Ann Murphy was on vacation this week. He took the meeting minutes.
Business meeting:
The business meeting opened approximately 7 pm with elections the first item on the agenda. It was announced we now had a full slate of candidates. Nominees for co-chair were Chris Cole, Mike Mantini, and Phyllis Lang. Steve Izzo was nominated for treasurer, and Matt Lochansky was nominated for secretary. All nominees had been seconded via the email list. Initially, there was some concern that a full slate of officers had not been presented to the membership by the May regular meeting. Also, a quorum of at least 25 members was not present so it was announced that the vote would be delayed a month to allow for online voting. After about 10 minutes had passed, more
members had arrived and a quorum had been reached. In addition, none of the office races was contested, so a vote was taken and all five nominees were voted in by acclimation.
Mike Keefe announced we needed to work on the telescope loaner program inventory. He is looking for help in paring the number of scopes down to a manageable number from the current number of 15+. Some work, some don’t, some need parts like eyepieces and finders. This cleanup will happen on a Saturday or Sunday in a couple of weeks.
The meeting roster showed 29 members and 8 guests had signed in. Brian Reasor counted 48 people present, so quite a few folks did not sign the roster.
