WE discussed, briefly, options if we do not get a full slate of board members - Meetings have fewer attending - getting a Quorum at board meetings is an issue - many members are active online but do not attend meetings in person

Options: - fold

1. decide how to dispose of the money
2. pay someone to host the site and the mail list for 5 years and pay them?

- revise our organization to do fewer things to deal with fewer people to do them

1. small meetings with no speakers
2. fewer meetings per year

- work with C4C on volunteerism stuff

Donations from March meeting were passed to the treasurer. $40

- Did not discuss minutes of December meeting
