  1. Conference Review – Angela distributed timeline for conference with notes about who does what when.
  2. Mugs – Margaret purchased 35travel mugs with AAWCC logo on them.  Several of them will be given as thank-you gifts to keynote presenters and people who play a key role in the conference.  We will sell the rest at the conference.  If they sell well, we will purchase more for future conferences.
  3. Treasurer’s Report – Balance as of Oct. 1, 2005 is $44,879.46.  There was some discussion about a process for awarding scholarships and how we use scholarships as a recruitment tool for the conference.  It was decided we would put this topic on the January meeting agenda.
