1.     Update on unclaimed property from the State of Kansas/Capitol Federal Savings: One of our members contacted Webber to inform him that there is a small amount of unclaimed money in Capital Federal Savings, our old bank, under SHNA’s name.  Webber applied to claim it.

2.     Date and venue for Annual Meeting: The bylaws state that we should hold the Annual Meeting in the Spring.  We should probably return to this schedule or amend the bylaws. Webber proposed we hold the picnic as scheduled in September, then do membership renewal and the Annual Meeting in April. Nieto agreed with Webber’s proposal. Dunham moved to return to Spring meeting. Nieto Seconded. Passed Unanimously.

3.     Inviting all members to EC meetings: is this a good idea?  Recently a former member read about our next meeting on our March minutes and was unhappy that we changed date and venue without notifying her.  Should we publish the date and venue on our website? Paul stated he thinks that members can contact the EC and get on the agenda. Nieto agreed. Dunham agreed. Webber will add procedure for getting on the agenda to the EC page on the website.
