Donations:
-do we want the reserve account (where we can use the money) to be 
listed on the donations website in addition to (or even instead of) the 
endowment (where we can only get interest).
-the Joe Kuchta Memorial Fund will also exist.  it will be an endowment 
if the amount is high enough, an account we can draw down if not.
-our endowment is really big

Bookex: there are problems.  we were late submitting checks.  also they 
were for wrong amounts.  sadness.

Nationals: meeting yesterday.  Anybody want to be a voting delegate? 
Let austein know if you want to come.

President's Report:
There will be chairs soon.
Let Liz de Regt know if you're going on Berkshires project soon, b/c she 
has to reserve waders.
