Committee Reports

Sitcomm: there is going to be another TV movie of Flowers for Algernon. Collective groan.

Mobcomm: more new books. Many not worth reading.

35 t-shirts have been bought so far.

We have had a 75 dollar fine this week.

John Norman's real name is John Frederik Lange Jr.

Should we process the Apostles books- still waffling- let's process 2. Let's give one of them to Ed to read and have him send an email telling how good it was. It's in a small font too...

M: use the small font to baptize John Norman. Passes.

BING!

New Business

Boxes for Cheerios called Millennios sighted in supermarket.

People mill around looking for new business.

BING!

Future Business

M: congratulate skinner for having somewhere to go after the meeting. Passes.

Skinner should read "Nine Taylors" by Dorothy Sayers because it's about bell-ringing.

Next meeting should be negative length or elsewhere. The only Star Chamber person here will be JM- move meeting to Star Chamber.

Any business- "I don't care what kind." (Skinner)

M: risky business. Passes 9-2-X +Spehn.
