Monthly Board Meeting of MoRivCC

The meeting was held at Cooper's Landing from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m.  

Board Members (a quorum was present):  Michael Stacy, John Clark, Mike Cooper, Vanessa Leitza, Anna Duff, and Madeleine Lightfoot.  Absent:  Gary Hildebrandt and Darren Hellwege.

Anne Ruhr resigned as secretary and board member via email on March 20th.  Madeleine volunteered to take minutes of this meeting, but asked to be reinstalled as secretary until her replacement can be found.  Vanessa moved to approve Madeleine as secretary, Michael seconded, and she was approved unanimously. 

Volunteers/Visitors Present:  none

Previous Meeting Minutes.   The March 15th meeting was canceled because there were too few board members available for a quorum.  

February 8th minutes have been distributed by email and reviewed.  Vanessa moved to approve them, Mike Cooper seconded, and minutes were approved.

Financial Report.  John recently emailed financials as of March 31st.  He reported that we currently have $3,513.78 in the bank.  Michael Stacy brought receipts for camera repair, tapes, DVDs, DVD sleeves, and registration of our entry in the Float Your Boat for the Food Bank Regatta, which will bring our balance to approximately $2,900.

Fundraising.  Vanessa is working with Anna to line up our Summer Sessions at Cafe Berlin.  Michael would still like to have a barbecue at the pavilion in his neighborhood.

Website.  No known changes.

Cataloging.  Suzanne Cooper has volunteered to assist Joy Rushing in completing the last book of older events.  Madeleine informed Joy of this a couple of weeks ago.

Technical.  Camera has been repaired, and supplies of tapes and DVDs have been purchased.  Mike Cooper suggested that MoRivCC purchase a small camera to capture videos to the computer; we have been using his camera. 

Current Recording Projects.  Most of the Winter Sessions have been edited, the last  are in process.  Gary is working on two, Mike and Madeleine are editing Glen Ward, and we are trying to recruit a novice video editor to work on the poetry session, which was a one-camera shoot.

Action Items from Previous Meeting.  None to address.

Old Business.  Only two events from 2014 EcoArtFest have edited audio.  Madeleine completed video for Mary Ellen Kirk some time ago, and Jeff Bassinson is editing the video for Man in the Ring.  Our biggest issue is that video editing is on hold for all the other events until audio editing is completed.  Dave VanSickle still has the audio computer, and Mike Cooper will contact him again.

Several DVDs for JCTV are being held at Cooper's Landing;  Art Gerhard has told Mike he will pick them up.

Future Recording Projects.  Anna would like MoRivCC to record an hour-long play, written by a Springfield woman, that will be performed as a fund-raiser for the Stream Team on June 5th and 6th at the Hartsburg Grand.  She will do more research on the technical capabilities for this event. 

Vanessa and Anna will meet regarding Summer Sessions.

New Business.  
	
	Float Your Boat for the Food Bank.  Michael Stacy is working on MoRivCC's cardboard boat for the regatta next Saturday, and welcomes assistance to complete it.   A crew of four is needed to row, and several people, slight but strong, are considering this task.  John said he will contact a woman he knows who might be willing to row, and if she is, will ask her to contact Vanessa.  MoRivCC will have a camera to record the event.

	Spring Barbecue.  After some discussion, Michael Stacy will request use of his neighborhood pavilion on the afternoon of Sunday, May 31st.  Alternatively he will request May 30th.

Next Board Meeting.  Scheduled May 17th at 1:00 p.m. at Cooper's Landing.
