are: 2-3 CE are planned There was discussion on whether to offer reciprocal meeting privileges for SLA. Members present agreed, but there was not enough for a quorum. Sylvia stated that she was a member of SLA and would speak to Larry Walton. Phil said the awards company was making the SLML medals, but they could send the work out. Phil said he was still working on an agreement with the company. A key chain was discussed as a possibility for a fund-raiser. Monica went over the amount in the account. She suggested the organization look at new ways to make money, because the organization is currently spending more than it makes. Also noted was the fact that there is a $20 service charge for money in our FirstStar account Someone suggested working with grocery stores to look at their gift certificates program. This program allows organizations to earn money from gift certificates purchased at select grocery stores. Phil suggested that we negotiate with other vendors to work out a program similar to Amazon.com, especially local vendors. Kathy stated that she would work on a survey to send out to the membership to find out the most frequently used vendors. Another suggestion to increase attendance at future meetings was to have demos of programs such as PubMed and Docline. Cheryle said that the procedure manual was behind. There was discussion about coming up with an agreement for presenters, etc. Next meeting will be October 12th at 1:00 pm at Missouri Baptist.
