Business At Hand:

P.O. Box: The question was raised about amending the bylaws to say that AID will have only one P.O. Box that doesn’t change. It was decided that changing the bylaws was not necessary because if someone wanted to change the P.O. Box in the future, they could just go in and change the bylaws. Deborah Teller volunteered to go to the downtown Post Office on 6th and Guadalupe to do some research. Casey Sheffield made a motion for Deborah to go to the Post Office and do the research and get back to us at the February meeting. Aviva Householder 2ond. The motion was passed.

At the November meeting we appropriated funds for the Community Service committee to use and distribute. This money ($50) was not used. Casey Sheffield made a motion to remove the authorization to use that $50 and move it out of the Community Service budget until it is needed. Deborah Teller 2ond. The motion was passed.

We talked about a statement for the website. Using the mission statement was mentioned. Beth Hasty made a motion that we use the mission statement for the AID website. Deborah Teller 2ond. The motion was passed.

Next Meeting: Ariane asked for feedback. Should we rotate meeting places between HBC and TCSD? Can we use DARS and CSD? Beth Hasty will find out about using DARS for a meeting place. The next meeting will be held after the workshop at HBC on February 24th at 4:30. AID will provide food for the break from 4:00-4:30. Emily Anderson will contact Lauren to see about connecting AID with the workshop.
