Minutes of the December 5, 2008 meeting of the Sioux Falls Seniors Computer Club:
In the absence of President Norm Knox, Vice President Bill Goebel called the meeting to order in room 204. The minutes of the November business meeting were read and approved. On a motion from Ray Vaughn, the club voted that names and addresses and phone numbers of club members should not appear in the club's blog. This motion passed without dissent. On a second motion from Ray Vaughn, the club voted on whether to exclude members' names, addresses, and phone numbers from the information distributed to members. The motion to exclude received 9 yes votes and 10 no votes. Mildred Hottman Roesch moved that this matter be discussed further at the January meeting. This motion passed without dissent.
Bill thanked Glenn Johnson for his work in creating and maintaining the club's blog. (Added note: This blog is located at http://sfscc2007.blogspot.com/ .)
