Michelle.  We need to get more people involved with the board. The suggestions were:  Get the main meeting space for open meeting.  Post everywhere that our meeting is open. Announce the agenda prior to the meeting.  Post edit minutes on web.

Feedback from Tim.  We may have to pay for the meeting room.  We agreed to do this when necessary

Tim may need to meet more outside of Nats and C of C meeting if we are changing the way the Nationals are hosted.  We need to meet more often when an issue arises.  An on line conference by phone was suggested. 

Michelle, we can set up something like skype for those conferences.  Hopefully everyone will set up a skype link
