Motion made and seconded to reduce the dues to $50 for 2008. Defeated. The prevailing 
sentiment was that we should spend our money on a new directory and advertising.
 
Papers are being solicited for LISAT 2008.
 
A seminar on Vicor power supplies was announced for the following Tuesday.

    2nd ViceChairman - Sam Sadinsky

    Secretary - Richard LaRosa

There is a problem in the production of the Pulse of LI involving the LI Section and 
Dave Allen which was confirmed by a recent e-mail from the section Chairman. The 
prevailing sentiment that I got at our meeting was that we would continue to work 
with Dave Allen on the production of our directory and other advertising. Member 
photographs were made for inclusion in the publications. Full speed ahead, despite 
bad experience with the vendor. There is also the need for an up-to-date mailing list 
that extends beyond Long Island.
 
The discussion topic was trusting your judgment in murky situations. Examples were 
given and solutions discussed.
 
My notes are sketchy. What did I miss?
 
Richard LaRosa, Secretary
