Greetings, Makers!

Just a reminder: tonight is our October monthly meeting.  I'm
re-attaching the agenda below.  Also, to make things easier to parse,
I've attached a file (diff.pdf) that highlights the modifications I'm
proposing for the bylaws.  See you all there!

> There are a few things to remember about the director and officer
> positions.  The three officers have actual duties and responsibilities:
> 
> 1) The President sets the agenda and runs the meetings.  He is also the
> face and voice of the corporation.  PR skills are desired!
> 
> 2) The Treasurer maintains the financial books and controls the bank
> accounts.  In addition, he makes a budget and creates cash flow reports.
> 
> 3) The Secretary maintains a record of all meetings and corporate documents.
> 
> In addition, the Directors are required to attend all meetings.  Our
> definition of Quorum is as follows: "Attendance of all but one (1) of
> the directors currently in office shall constitute a quorum for the
> transaction of any business except adjournment".  No action can take
> place without the directors.  (But they don't get free reign!)
> 
> So: bring your nominations!  Don't be afraid to nominate yourself for
> any position!  See you all next week :)
