Details

  1. Regular meetings going forward?

    2nd tuesday of each month. We will continue to meet in the summer,

    but with the understanding that we might miss some of those meetings.

  2. Budget:

    Newsletter (should come under BCS)

    Address Book

    Backups

    Repair one sanctuary speaker (left side - the one without the label)



    Capital:

    New sound system for Whitaker Hall

    Wireless speaker system for nursery

    Microphones to record the choir

    Wireless print server



    Network and website (these are budget items that are covered by donations)

    centralhost

    surfnet

  3. BCS must take ownership of paying for postal and Kinkos charges for

    newsletter

  4. People in nursery want to hear the sermon. Sarah suggested "baby

    monitor."

  5. Need additional mics to record choir.

  6. Larry: suggested we project the bulliten on a large screen during

    service, to show songs, prayers, etc.

  7. Larry opened discussion about making sure people who are hard of

    hearing can listen to the sermons. Eg: speakers in pews, or headets,

    or...

  8. We should determine the cost of the web hosting and surfnet, then add that to

    the budget, recognize these as proper donations, and issue receipts to

    donors. Nancy Jo will write thank you notes to Mark Morgenthal and

    Andy Schwabecker. These are budget items that are covered by donations.

  9. HOWTO Document Repository

    John G setup a process to embed an original document inside a PDF

    generated by another application.

    John G and Mike will be the HOWTO gatekeepers. If a document

    needs updating, the original will be available from PDF, then

    update, then send to John/Mike who will regenerate the PDF and

    re-embed the original document.

    This will force us to standardize on PDF, which will eliminate

    some people who don't have PDF readers.

    Mike will send out a general announcement soliciting HOWTO docs

    from committees and members at large. Then John and Mike will

    Larry will submit many HOWTO docs to John/Mike.

  10. New members need bits turned on to receive newsletter and being on

    the notify list.

  11. Nancy Jo has a bunch of photos of new members. She will send to

    Lou M. to post these.

  12. Should we add Lou as an unofficial member of BCS?

  13. New idea: craigslist for Skyland Church:

    sell/trade/barter

    rental property

    wanted

    spa for sale

  14. Another idea:


    This will require serious discussion

  15. We need some way to print documents from the church network.

  16. New sound system for Whitaker Hall
