Call To Order: Vice President and Interim President Katie Givens Kime

Katie called the meeting to order at 2:13 pm.

Welcome Jeanne Shul and Mashid Irvani

Introductions & “What We Each Do”

Minutes

Z sent out the June minutes prior to the meeting.  Cathy made a motion for approval.  Bill Bridges accepted with changes.  Motion passed.

Committee Reports

Nominating Committee (Cathy Shepherd, Van Waddy and Bill Bridges) Katie called a business meeting at the September lecture and presented the nominating committee for election to approve to present the slate of 2017 Officers to be announced and elected in November.

Programs reports: Deborah and Cathy

Last 3 events.  2 Friday night lecture times worked. We had large attendance at both July (Carol Caronis)  and August (Sharon Martin).  78 people. Mary Wells Baron was a wonderful presentation.  Unfortunately not as much turnout – 2 day art and psyche – maybe we needed to do a 1 day.

Coming up: Nov 18/19 Pitman McGehee –

Cathy will introduce.  Mashid volunteered transportation from airport to hotel and back to airport. Arriving 1:33 pm on Friday   Sunday return: 12:20pm.   

Dinner on Saturday night at Cathy’s house. Workshop will end at 5pm.  Cathy will get cheese and crackers.  Katie will not be at meeting.  Bill Marshall will either run the meeting or Peggy will.

Pete Williams -December 3rd will be an introduction to Jung and a refresher course.

Other programming stuff – Trinity responded that our requests has to go to the property committee meeting which doesn’t meet until November. Deborah emailed back and asked if this is a new procedure.   Trinity governing body responded they have changed the operating hours of Trinity.  Our requests were beyond their new operating hours. Deborah has requested information as to what the hours are. We may need to change our meeting times, and may need to change our days from Saturday lectures to Friday.  It could be just another hoop to jump through and a matter of procedure. Trinity not super quick on communication

—2017 -Speakers and lectures –  February  Jackie and Marilyn doing sex lecture workshop.  May – lecture workshop with John Beebe on Topology. He doesn’t do a lot of speaking. Fall – September -Ashok Bedi And will speak on the Comparison of Western vs. Eastern Individuation.  And Hollis.  Waiting for dates to plug in cannot publicize yet.  Don’t have all the lectures worked out yet.  Bill Walker is interested but we don’t have a date.

Heard criticism that we have the same speakers,  but attendance is good for these returning speakers – they are popular.  Phil Flores is someone we might ask.  Summer – should we have a Friday night movie ? It’s hard for people and volunteers to get there at 6pm.  Great as long as we can fit it in. We have DVDs.

Ideas for People or topics?   Bill B suggested Ted Friedman. Bill heard him talk on a podcast – centaur manifesto and uses a lot of Jung in fantasy, media, the alternative worlds that folks visit and create digitally. Could be fun to delve into.  Greg Ellison? Alex Escobar? Bobby Paul? Psychoanlytic studies – psycho analysis involved in eastern religion. Katie will approach him.  The Head of Tibeten Monastery and liason with Dalai Lama.? If Bobby Paul would lecture many might come from the Psycho Analytic Institute.

Topic – Gender – in terms of ways it pops up in popular culture – transgender  -like jung said we are both masculine and feminine.  Deborah will ask if sex talk could possibly address this topic.   

Postdramatic stress disorder –possibly – a partnership – about trauma and dreams – Katie will think about that one,  Peggy – the veterans place in Columbus in reference to PTSD and might have an interest in talking with us.  Bill will email the guy in Athens.

BUDGET

($7759) how much w’eve lost this year.

Normally we have income from investments in the range of $1400.

We got 16 new members from our last meeting.

Lecture and workshop estimated income was a lot less than we expected.  We expected $15,000   actual was $7865.

Book Income – books are doing fine – we made a lot less money on books but ordered a lot less so we made a fair amount of book income.  The numbers may be off as they are same numbers as last year – they werent adjusted.

Media – have money to spend here.

Since the food table was moved – media rental and books have been up.   

Publicity advertising– Creative Loafing ad was really expensive – it was right before Hollis and lowest we had for Hollis – don’t think it really helped.

Social media budgeted for Hadden but we didn’t use Hadden.

PO Box rental – we pay $531 dollars – UPS box we didn’t budget for.

Library computer purchase on hold we did not spend

Accounting Services  $817 for two months. Don stopped that and looking at alternatives.   

budget loss was almost  $5000  actual loss was not that far off.

CD sales have gone down by a third.  People don’t use CD’s anymore they use MP3s.  Suggestion: for people like Hollis perhaps we should adverstise at the lecture that you can get tonight’s lecture. We could do point of purchase right then and there on the IPAD., if master didn’t work we could reimburse. If popular we could make copies and have prior lectures ready for sale. Don could run some copies and have for sale. Could advertise this in the newsletter and have an order form.

    

4^th page is loss by event  Feb and April fantastic. Bulkeley we made money,

Do we want to do Bulkeley again –  re: Lucretia of Spain.  A Lucretia dream lecture –

Sept – Mary Wells Baron was a risk, due to format, that we decided to take.

Virginia we lost $ but doesn’t take into consideration new members or the number of regular memberships that came.

Lectures should expect to be negative because – the money is really made in the lecture/workshop.  We have to take into consideration the membership attendance.    

Vanguard.  Bonds have done terribly – index bond market and index stock market

historical view of Vanguard money.    

Money still in old bank account.  We are not being charged for bank account.

Don has to transfer money from old account to new account – hassle.

Link donation?   2013  we gave $1000.  2007 – $500  2006 – $250.

We haven’t given them anything since 2013.   They make the link available to us even in extreme circumstance, we have a lot of appreciation.  This is our backup, other’s cost a lot.  $1000  is suggested by Cathy Shepperd as soon as possible should do before the end of the year. Cathy made a motion. Deb seconded -giving $1000 to the Link.

Postage and postcards are increasing.

Trinity stayed same, except for Williams Hall. Drastic change – Williams Hall $1100 a day.

Fellowship is now $200 a day.  But they didn’t charge us the higher amount. They revised the price. We pay the $4500 til we figure it out.

Next year we will do the workshop back in fellowship hall.  This means we will need to move the books Friday night and Saturday morning.

Question is in past years we usually do our budget meeting at January retreat but the conversation is too late waiting til then. Publicity is an empty position on our board right now.  Cathy suggested some advisory board people to be on committee for publicity.    We could make better use with money than Creative Loafing.  We need to invest to make money.  Paying someone or a group to do social media – would need to have a committee say yes.  Could be as simple as asking someone to share this on their facebook page in the newsfeed.  We don’t use twitter at all and it is important. People need to see it 3 or more times because they forget about it. Mashid came to Jung society by Facebook.  Also Meetup could be explored.  Idea: offering free membership or stipend to a student to do social media.  Katie –  we send out from Jung society email – list – it would say we offer free membership we looking for a person to fill some key positions – Katie will draft something.   Mail chimp  has app on Ipad. Constant Contact is what we use.  Mail chimp is as expensive as Constant Contact, someone would have to compose a monthly.

Katie will draft an email to get a person to consider this for 2017  free membership and possibly a stipend .   Put reminder in newsletter –  Cathy will ask  John Gentile at Kennesaw.  Could pull in more than one person.  Do we want a committee and highlight.  If undergrad student = generally money is an issue – if they were good – we could make a stipend available or could be free membership and workshops.  Speaking of the “chronologically superior” we need to interest the younger generation.  Jung is not offered in undergrad.  Bill could set up some forums on our website but we would need a moderator to discuss the lectures.

Trinity and charitable drives –  It would be nice for us to donate a little to trinity we could do $25.00.  Food drive right now.  We already make a donation to custodial.  $100 to the food drive? Can send money, food, a gift card.  This could embody part of our consciousness week before Thanksgiving.  Don will send out an email.  Katie will send on behalf of the board and we are initiating in this way.  Anyone coming to Pitman bring something – can add to facebook. Cannot do on postcard as they are already printed.   Cathy will bring boxes and put in several places for contributing food for trinity and a kroger gift $50.  Deb made motion Z seconds Cathy will do it.     

Membership fees:  currently for 2016  full year membership  $50 for individual $75 for couple  $25 for student.   July we halve it. Workshop fees are student  $50   non member $70  member $60.  Mary Wells Baron we started 45 minutes late and she was shorter than most.  We  started late at every session for her., however, she did present all the information she had.  Are we better off upping lecture, workshop, or membership fees?  Membership is a great deal.  $80 for a couple  Our membership fees are in parity with others.  CEU’s are a great deal.  If they are coming for CEU’s they will pay for the weekend.  Mary Wells Baron was an exception?  If people complain more we will revisit.  Not a pattern.    Not upping fees.

Membership:  Peggy made motion to keep membership fees only – same for 2017   Bill seconded. Cathy opposed.  If we want to increase lecture workship fees we will want to do it now.  Deb moves that we not change the lecture workshp fees it’s set for six months but we can revisit the discussion in January.

Except for Hollis which commands a higher fee.

iPads and Front Desk.  Don – iPads are reset and rebooted. Can see all the transactions.  Bill needs to stay up at front desk one more time.  The iPads are real easy except when something strange happens. Mistakes to be avoided – some were charged the $25 for lecture instead of the $20.  We need another table for membership.  Will we sell membership this time?  Lecture was $20 and lecture and membership was a deal $25.00   Karen will be here for front desk for November and December.     

Frontdesk is covered for the next couple of months.

If you renew 2017 in November and want to buy, you get Pitman and membership level from that point on for whole year.

Somebody paid for 2016 and 2017 membership and didn’t fill out a membership form.  We wipe the membership data base next month  problem if person paid for rest of this year and next year and then they get wiped.  People need to do membership forms.

MEDIA – repositioning is working well.  The codes need to be written down

Bill writes them down and then uses online data base  –  name of person renting and code of what they rent.

HOSPITALITY – Mashid – Remind Trinity to set out the utensils and napkins. Chris may not realize that.  He is taking care of us instead of Trevarious.   Saturday morning want fruit, and mini bagels. We used to do OJ but too expensive.

NEWSLETTER

One of the best ever.  People responded.  Carol Darnell will contribute in January.

PUBLICITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Who is willing to circulate the beautiful postcards for November. Where do postcards need to go who can and where can we take them. Mashid could do 20 easily to Kennesaw and Starbucks and the Psych Dept. Mashid will try and get a GSU contact.  Don will get postcards into mail to her.  Cathy will do to St Phillips and Trinity. Katie will put at Emory if she gets them early enough as she will not be available in later November to circulate.  We need to find a person at GSU and West Georgia that is willing to circulate and propagandize for us.  Don will send to John Gentile.

How about Atlanta Planit, and  Access Atlanta.  Psychological sites.

How about sending to Church Council?

Social Media – Katie – last event and Mary Wells Baron, terrible facebook problems.  Not a big share on facebook   

August we rocked. Super robust.     

BOOKS –

Glitch – Pitman McGehee not listed anywhere that we get a discount.  He sent Deborah the name of the contact person at Houston bookstore. Bob got the books through Amazon.  One more similar problem with the books that Hollis has written.   “Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life” – at place we cannot get discount.  Hollis has 4 different publishers. Because he is not a high volume guy.

Try and get an account with Ingram the book distributor.  Deborah will give Bob the email for Hollis.

Deb – we are trying to beef up the inventory for the holidays.  Do we want to

go to Houston Jung Society and, does he want to do a booksigning.

Could we get more copies and a higher profit, through the Houston Jung Center is possibly the way to do it.

Bob has 4 books for Hollis but not the other 3.  Pete’s lecture will be a revisit  .  Understanding Jungian psychology. Jackie was asking for a book on sexuality  and Jung.   How about Ann Ulanov’s book on transforming sexuality.

Membership  Jeanne is caught up.

Thank you gift for Bill Marshall – the plaque is normally presented in January

Cathy will ask whether he would rather have in December or January.

**************************************************************

Call To Order: Vice President and Interim President Katie Givens Kime

Katie called the meeting to order at 2:17 pm.

Card signing for our beloved Bill Marshall

Welcome Karen Hebert

Introductions & “What We Each Do”

Minutes

Z sent out the March minutes prior to the meeting. Deborah made a motion for approval. Minutes accepted. Motion passed.

Committee Reports:

Treasurer’s report

Don has straightened out lots of mistakes from the profit and loss statement. Investment income from last year had not been included. End of year numbers are correct. Bottom line – 2015 ended in the red ($3,735.27). The reasons include – Trinity fees went way up., paid for treasurer help, paid back taxes and penalty, bought IPADs and a hotspot, postcard costs went up considerably from $700 to $1000. Van made motion to accept the report, Z seconded. All approved.

This year: 2016 Budget column is for the entire year not year to date. Event income will be down, as we did not make as much money on Hollis. Williams Hall cost of $2200 cut into income. Income down across the board. Book income lower than expected. Media sales not robust. Hollis – next year we will do one day in Williams Hall and the next in our regular room for a savings of $900. This year we’ve spent $2000 on accounting help already. Don has pulled the plug on that.

Profit and Loss by event

February and April – made money. Kelly Bulkeley and Hollis – however we had advertising costs, creative loafing, postcards and mailing cut in significantly into profits

Attendance for Michael Meade -250 people – brought us 26 new members.

Even though Carol Caronis was well attended, we did not make money – that doesn’t take into consideration the many number of people who joined that night and got in free.

We have approximately $7000 in our checking account. We have 2 different checking accounts.

We need to close out one – will need Bill’s help.  Online orders and Go payments go to old account.  Don then transfers them to the new account – Don is not authorized to change the account it is going into. We are spending $85.00 an hour for accounting help.  Don can reconcile the checkbook in 5 minutes and they would charge us a $100. The idea is to break the tasks apart.  There are Quickbook people online – will have to determine what is safe to farm out. Something like membership forms data. Fiverr is a popular option for small business. Trusted online help that will do things like digital taxes.  Ways to automate – online orders perhaps with software instead of manual. Don is working on it. Goal is to get a dump of online orders put in file and upload to Quickbooks and process credit cards.

Hospitality is costing us $1500 a year.  In October meeting we need to look at costs and maybe- up our fees.  Food and books are important but need to look at cost.

We need to talk more about room repositioning to maximize book and media sales.   

Don said this is not a normal year. Hollis has carried the year in prior years. We would have had $3-4000 extra and then we would expect a down year in a non-Hollis year

Creative Loafing ad went in 2 additions and online presence.

Book sales are off. We usually have pretty good book sales at big events.  New members are usually interested. Exploring alternative sales options – maybe we give them an IOU like Michael Meade did.  We could mention to the audience at lectures – why JSA instead of Amazon  “Book and Media Sales support this organization.”  We could also highlight a book and a tape.

Newsletter suggestion –  Have a book review and recommendation.

Karen mentioned Pacifica does a  Recommended Reading List, we could do something like that.   

Postcards – they are important but are costly.

We were projecting a loss of $4888.

Deborah  made a motion to accept Don’s 2016 Treasurer’s Report .  Seconded and passed.

SECRETARY’s REPORT

Z made a motion to remove the JSA Directory from availability to the JSA member population.  Katie seconded. Motion passed.   Don has removed it.    

Karen would like a directory of the board members.   

PROGRAMS

2016 list see addendum:

Viginia Apperson will do lecture on “The Inner Circle”  subject matter:  as we strive and bustle we leave ourselves behind.  Invitation  into your own inner circle where the only condition is un-conditional love.

Mary Wells Barron will do three lectures, three different topics on art and the psyche. One Friday night, one Saturday morning, one Saturday afternoon which only goes to 3:30.

Van will figure out how to do the CEU’s for this event. Important we offer CEU’s. We need to publicize the CEU’s to the community.

Transportation logistics:  Arrival Friday September 16, 2:10 and take to hotel. Cathy may be able to pick her up. Uber is $20 if we must. Peggy can take her to airport.

WHO is introducing? 

.

Pittman McGehee will need TRANSPORTATION.  We will have a dinner with him in October.

Does he want to stay at Cathy’s house?

Sharon Martin – Karen Hebert will introduce

Mary Wells Barron – Jutta may introduce, Virginia is big into art perhaps she is interested.

Virginia Apperson – Katie will introduce

Pitman McGehee – Van will introduce.

Need introductions for Pete Williams, and Mary Wells Barron.   

3:38  Break

3:50  Reconvene

FRONT DESK   

Karen’s experience at front desk – it’s busy – it is a 2 or 3 person job.

Position involves integrating equipment, interfacing with treasurer, migrating all transactions, Don and Karen will be in conversation about what needs to happen at the end of the evening.

Don brought the new chip reader- Square – don’t know how reliable – this one can be charged

Karen mentioned chip cards can break them. There is a slider and a chip option.

President’s check list for volunteer coverage for eash JSA Event:

Z will get there early, float, be Deborah’s back up liason for interaction with staff before lectures, and put up signs (our sign found in a closet by Trevarious),

Equipment: who will be in possession of the IPADs and hot spot (makes sense for them to live with Karen)– currently in Cathy’s possession – she will get them to the next lecture.

Front desk need for SEPT and OCT as Karen will be gone., she will talk with someone to cover.

Media desk – reposition? Is there an outlet on the other wall? Either wall will do for the August meeting. Still talking swapping food and media.

HOSPITALITY

Mashid Irvani and Val Cleveland are happy to fill in now and then. Can we get a few more volunteers – one or two more people. Incentive –  get your entry paid – Hospitality does not have to be a board position.  Mashid agreed to do August.

NEWSLETTER AND WEB

Thank you Karen for article.  Deadline was this weekend.  Not doing a volunteer spotlight. Does there have to be a Presidents letter on the front?  Yes.  Katie will come up with something.

Next deadline is in 3 months

PUBLICITY

Need to publicize Mary Wells Barron to the art community in Roswell – Deborah.

Postcards: Katie will drop off 100 at Emory and Decatur coffee shops

Don doing postcards, newsletter and emails

Tasks: What list serves were being done before?  Katie going to put on Council of Churches. How about Mythic Journeys list serve?  MATN – do they send out about our JSA events? Our email goes to them, but we have to pay them. Karen will check her work computer and see if Jung Society info is being sent out. Who would know if we are paying them?. Don will look on Quickbooks and see if there is a specific entry for them.   

Cathy will look into seeing about hiring someone to get us on NPR

Social media – our dollars continue to go less and less far.  Perhaps give content to people that like us on facebook. Someone like Sharon can give us a boost.  Do you like our facebook page? Just go there and like it. Could be a perk to being a member if you are on facebook and join the page you would get updates.  A group can get more publicity

LIBRARY

We need a computer and a way to do a word reference search, and track check outs. Is Wifi available?    Would be good if you could put in a word like alchemy and bring up everything in our library that pertains.   

Ann Williford donated part of Bill Willifords library – 11 boxes of books – Peggy – long and tedious  process to check against our books

There are 6 boxes we won’t use – can try to sell them – we have space limitation.  Could donate the German books to Uta.

Does the Memphis Jung Society have a need for any books? Can give to Bob and Deb and see if they could sell them.

Link does not want to add 2 more bookshelves as they use the space as a meeting room.

NO MORE BOOKS.  We are at capacity.

It will take a great deal of Time and energy to get computer and advertise.

Bill Bridges has made a catalog on “LIBRARY THING” for Media  not Library.

We need to make a commitment leave it as is, and not pay attention to it, or get a computer and make something of it.

Motion made to sideline and put library on hiatus. Passed.

MEMBERSHIP – increased membership numbers

Don –NAMETAGS – Bill Marshall bought two nametag suitcases – do we have room in the closet?  Karen offered to organize nametags – Karen can print them, and Don has the cases at home.

BOOKS – no report on, but they will get a box of them.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE. Need to have 3 people.  No one automatically on it even though there is usually one carry over.  All four officer positions need to be turned over. Max is 2  consecutive terms.  Don could be treasurer again, if we got in a tight spot. That is the only one that could be renewed as he is interim. Katie will put out an email to the whole board .  Van and Cathy? will do it.  We need a third person.    

MISCELANEOUS BUSINESS

Cathy asked if JSA has made a donation to The Link this year? Don will check and also see historically what has been done and will bring info to the October meeting.  Don will send Katie an email to put on agenda to discuss how much to donate.

Must discuss in October whether to up fees as the October newsletter needs to publish any change of fees.   

Katie will periodically send out reminders for the next board meeting and will send out email about who wants to be on nominating committee.

Call To Order: President Bill Marshall

Bill Marshall called the meeting to order at 3:10 pm. 

Addendum:  July 24, 2016  2pm– Board met briefly for a specific discussion.  See below for  letter that JSA Board Executive Committee sent to Trinity in June, and JSA letter sent to Mary Davis on July 24, 2016.    

To Van and her Family

To Deb and her Family

Opening Ritual in honor of Van’s Mother and Deb’s Brother

Celebrating life and how we can hold each other in times of loss. Celebrating the great circle of life and death.

Wishing healing for Deb and Van and their Families.

Minutes

Z sent out the January minutes prior to the meeting.  Motion for approval.  Minutes accepted with changes. Motion passed.

Proposed Agenda distributed.

President and Treasurer’s report is merged

Treasurer transition changes from Ron to Bill to Chris.  Don has offered to be Interim Treasurer.  Interim Treasurer ought to be measured in months, Don has enough on his plate.  Thank you Don

Bill Marshall and Katie removed Chris Nichols signatory authority off the Jung Society corporate bank account. Do not need another endorsement stamp. We now have 2 bank accounts.  The original has $4000 in it that needs to be transferred to the new account that has $5000 in it.  Bill Marshall will keep media receives.

$56 Current Sales Tax due for State of Georgia.  The accounting firm used the wrong address for  the State Tax Bill (Trinitiy’s) – Trinity was offended.   Don will take on signing checks for speakers.  Don will look into and clarify whether cost effective to still use accounting firm.  Don will figure out how to get the cards transferred to the new accounts and will cut up the old ones.  With so many transitions and future ones anticipated, a binder needs to be created to hand over to the next person. Too much lives in just one person’s brain. Need to be able to streamline the process of handing off the info so that term limits are not so hard to end.  (Chris might be able to help with some notes he was documenting.)    Need to get a society credit card for Don to make purchases.

Move made to affirm Don’s offer to be interim Treasurer and changes to the account. Katie seconded. Motion approved.

Don let us know there were no checks entered into the new checking account which changes our end of the year report. New members were entered into Quickbooks.  It is a fair amount of work to untangle.

Vice President’s Report  –  Katie nothing to report at this time.

Secretary’s Report:  question whether to allow members access to the Jung directory.  One person is asking for it. Suggestion to take this perk off the website until we can determine whether we will continue to allow.  Will table this discussion til next board meeting.

Committee Reports

Equipment: IPADs – Katie will bring them this time and will get hotspot transferred to herself and then to the Jung Society.

Front Desk:  Hollis: Who will man the Front desk for Hollis?   Peggy, Katie and Bill Bridges, Van CEU’s and pre-registration.  Val Cleveland is a new volunteer very excited to help, and will come early to be trained. Mary may be able to help,  however, she is introducing Hollis.  Don will be video recording.  No dinner.  Peggy will pick up and deliver Hollis to airport.  Timing critical to get him to airport after workshop.

Programming:   Trinity has approved All of our meetings dates for this year.  Today we need to resolve the summer venue – whether coming to the Link or Trinity – for June, July and August – we have the rooms booked at the link for Saturday nights if we need. Saturday nights are not available at Trinity in the summer.  We do not have 2 day workshops in the summer.  Link space is $250.  Seats 60 comfortably, 75 cramped.  We would have to do all set up and clean up., books would not be able to come over to the link.   Many negatives: different location, space is upstairs, space is small.  Mary so moved to keep the summer venue at Trinity- All voted in favor of Trinity.   

Jackie Wright and Marilyn Marshall want to collaborate on a lecture workshop: “Sex: The Flesh And Blood If It” for lecture.  Workshop:  “Eros, Psyche and Their Daughter Pleasure”:   Proposal to have them split the fee and pay for Marilyn’s airfare as she is coming from New Orleans.  February with Valentine’s might be a good fit. November is a possibility or next February.   November we need to think about capturing  memberships.  Pittman may be better for November.    

Movie Night: Deborah proposed DVD on Robert Bly.  A 60 minute self contained presentation like a documentary and then could have discussion, or Katie proposed Oscar short films.  Shall we pursue another lecturer or do a movie night?    Bill Marshall – “up to programming group to decide. “

BOOK REPORT:  Bob adding more books for Hollis to make sure enough – filling in the gaps.

MEDIA RENTAL:  Bill Bridges is absent.  Bill did a really good display but does not get foot traffic.   Discussion about how to best highlight Media Rental.  Perhaps reposition it in the room.  Make announcement about Media and Book sales.

NEWSLETTER:   A month away. No analyst article.  Deadline is right after Hollis.  Delay in getting out newsletter is a direct result of waiting for articles not necessarily a Vendor issue. We are lucky to have vendor as very few do this right now.  Cathy suggested having a bank of articles.  Katie suggested scaling down the newsletter.  Mary suggested developing a list of regular contributors.  Complications have been soliciting content. Discussion on doing a 4 page monthly instead of a 16 page quarterly.  Our quarterly newsletter is a great marketing tool. People love it. It is known nationally as credible and hefty.

***Summer Board Meeting topic:  Making the Newsletter process more conscious.

Social Media:  Next meeting we can look at numbers for Bulkeley, Gentile and Hollis. Will have numbers of how many people are clicking on facebook that actually come to the lecture.

Publicity: Mary would like to spend money on Creative Loafing advertisement. It would have to be done in the next 5 days. Don:  $680: quarter page ad., or $400 for 1/8 page.  Bill Bridges is willing to make the graphic.  Discussion:  Is it worth it for Hollis- can learn whether an ad is effective. Should we have two 1/8  ads 2 weeks in a row or one ¼ page ad?  Don will get the deadline from creative loafing and talk to Bill Bridges. It needs to be turned around in the next 48 hours.  Proposal to have either 1 ad 10 days before Hollis or two 1/8 ads 2 weeks before and then the second preceeding the event but not so close to the event that it is too late.  Peggy asked for a vote to approve $750 per Don’s request.  All voted Aye.  Addendum:  actual cost was $780.

Library:  Peggy:  Need computer and help getting info on the computer.  Bill Bridges had previously talked about cross referencing the material for media perhaps this would also work for books.

Other Old Business

Volunteers:  3 new volunteers  Mahshid Irvani for Hospitality, Jeanne Shul – working with data base, Val Cleveland – Hospitality.  Business for next meeting:  Should Front Desk (Karen Hebert) be a Board position?

D & O insurance. Ron and Bill Marshall were in conversation with someone from Tech. Had signed and sent the form. Didn’t hear back.  Tried to contact multiple times.  Needs follow-up.

NEXT BOARD MEETING SCHEDULED:   Sunday July 24^th   2 – 4pm.

Peggy made motion to adjourn.  Bill Marshall seconded

5:57pm meeting adjourned.

Addendum: Letter to Trinity from JSA Board Executive Committee

June 23, 2016

Trinity Presbyterian Church of Atlanta

3003 Howell Mill Rd NW

Atlanta GA 30307

cc: Rev. Pam Driesell, Senior Pastor

Karen Simmons, Operations Manager

Dear staff members of Trinity Presbyterian Church,

We are writing this letter in hopes of ensuring a trusting relationship between TPC and the Jung Society of Atlanta, and maintaining our long tradition of renting TPC for our monthly lecture and workshop events.

Recently, we learned that such trust may have been jeopardized.  On May 21, we learned from a Trinity Presbyterian staff member about an incident that occurred about 18 months ago between an employee of TPC and Mary Davis (a member of the JSA Board).  The incident involved a note on which Ms. Davis allegedly wrote the phone number of a Trinity staff member and the words “The Help.” We understand that the note was then photographed and shared with other members of the Trinity staff, who were rightly offended and angered.  We believe that such behavior is offensive, inappropriate, and demeaning.

We regret all aspects of this incident. We regret that a Trinity staff member was treated in a demeaning and offensive manner, and that another Trinity staff member was burdened with the awkwardness of telling us about the incident.

Ms. Davis’ conduct does not represent the values or intentions of JSA, and we sincerely apologize for it.  We have confronted Ms. Davis with the information we received. We have disallowed Ms. Davis from any interactions with the TPC staff, or from executing any administrative, volunteer, or leadership responsibilities at JSA events that happen on TPC’s campus.  We do not feel that the TPC staff should be further burdened with Ms. Davis’ apologies or explanations.

Knowledge of the incident illuminated what the JSA Board experienced as tension in the relationship between JSA and TPC, particularly in the latter half of 2015, when TPC was considering whether or not to renew JSA’s contract for use of TPC space.

We hope we have properly conveyed regret, and that with the action we have taken, we might work to rebuild trust and friendship between the Jung Society of Atlanta and the staff of TPC.

In hope,

Katie Givens Kime (Vice President and Interim President)

Barbara Gilman (Secretary)

Don Huntley (Interim Treasurer)

Deborah Huntley (TPC Liaison)

July 24, 2016 Letter to Mary Davis

Dear Mary,

During the meeting that Katie Givens Kime, Barbara Gilman and Deborah Huntley had with you on June 7, 2016, they shared with you the information received by staff at Trinity Presbyterian Church regarding your unintended offensive and inappropriate interaction with a Trinity staff member at a JSA event.  You were also informed that the Board officers would be writing a letter to Trinity in an effort to reconcile and move forward respectfully in JSA’s relationship with Trinity.  At that meeting, you offered to also write a letter to Trinity apologizing for your behavior, which you agreed would be included with the letter written by the officers of the Board.

You agreed, per our request, to have no contact with Trinity personnel, directly or indirectly, other than the letter that you would give us to include.

We have been unable to get in touch with you despite multiple attempts by email and phone, other than your June 22nd email response. Communication is essential for the process of our Board.

Despite the express directive to have no contact with Trinity personnel, we have learned that you initiated a meeting with TPC Senior Pastor, Pam Driesell, during the week of July 7th.  We understand that you told Pam that you knew such an action on your part was a direct violation of the conditions to which you previously agreed.

Rebuilding and maintaining a positive relationship with Trinity Presbyterian Church and the Board is crucial to the continued successful operation of JSA.

In light of this, we have come to the difficult decision that it is in the best interest of the Jung Society of Atlanta to discontinue your discretionary board appointment.  We hope that you will find community, care, and tools for growth within the Jung Society of Atlanta.  We value all you have contributed to the Board.  At this time, however, it is not appropriate for you to serve in a leadership or volunteer capacity. All board privileges, including free admittance to lectures and workshops, are hereby discontinued.

Sincerely,

Jung Society of Atlanta Board

Tresurer’s Report

opened with appreciation of his tenure on the board

pulled out 5 grand from Vanguard accounting services big expense, newletter expense paid early ½ paid early.  Ran numbers yesterday event income 2016 budget all the numbers reflect actual numbers from 2015 dues. Big picture of 2016  –  rental space was credited from overpayment to Trinity

Tresurer’s report for 2015

Don:  Chris budget doesn’t show income from so bottom line should be 1400 better – so a loss of $900.

how we are closing 2015 vs  other years. Cathy’s memory is this is worse than a few years but some years have been worse.

Tend to be negative in programs

don is saying our expenses are exceeding our income but we didn’t have the interest income reduces bottom line by 1400   our expenses have gone up, accountant, postcard, $400 –  $80 and hour.  $300 for December.  Will contact Karen and go over what expense bill was for.

Want to be realistic about call Barb at accounting we are going to use you guys advise us what to do -$100 a month or move away from them at all.  Need to make them aware we would cut them off so they don’t continue to work and bill us for it

we did two withdrawals from vanguard into checking account to pay bills that is not reflected in actuals

likely income around Hollis and then we took money out.

Accountants wanted to know if they should do 1099 for them and they would need books and tshirts etc. Chris would we missed the deadline for the 1099.  Can ask accountant how much lecture workshop speakers and to Don.  They have the information.  Bill wanted to save the money.  Chris can consolidate it to why December $300 and if they help with 1099 how much.  Chris will ask the two questions through email and copy Cathy.  If less than $200 yes.  They can in agreement if motion:

Katie made a motion to empowering you to ask the accountant to execute the 1099 forms in Bill Marshalls absence.  The four speakers 5 ish people.  That’s all the work we want out of them and what they foresee for the year. No itemized bill.  We would love to consider.  They need inventory of books

uncharacterized $8900 expense or $1600.  was it tied to the newletter – no  could it be ipads that Brooks bought.  Cliqbooks payments fees right under neath the $8900.  $8300 doesn’t what was normally an $8300 may be the

$4300 media rental income.  Lower than Bill Bridges had for it but that might not include november, december.   

$item number 6400 media sales expenses where are cd media sales don’t seem to be reflected.   Where recording   should have gone into line 820

6400 item should have gone into 6300 item.   Without bill we doing best we can and will revisit at next meeting with Bill.

Charge of $1500 for december paid to? On line transfer to the transfer from old account to new checking account.  Full treasurers

budget is always amended.

Program pft and loss report  leaving the budget at this point.

Answered everything we can about budget

rental is not divided or specified to any chek made out to the whole year and overpaid by $250. we already had a credit from the year before.  They just said don’t pay January.  Pft and loss events page

Feb Hollis,  may Monicka Wikman 68 friday night. Saturday would make the difference. Their speaker fees were the same. ,  Sept JerryRuhl ,  guy  had 46.  guy stayed so no hotel cost or as many food costs.      Monica stayed with virginia and then we put her at hotel.  Was expecting guy to lose more money. She brough in $250 more in expenses and brought in less $1000 difference.

Attendance looking at pft and loss by event

Most people attending  April 50  July 80people.  But it may not affect income because members don’t pay.  John Gentile spiked us on social media.  Other than holis  he was the best of the year.  If member attended won’t bring income.  Weather, traffic, etc..

Tresurer’s report.  Closing out 2015.  will revisit when we have Bill marshall back in the mix.

January  ATM withdrawals  – to pay Don. Rather than a check.  Can only withdraw $300 at a time.

2015 coming to a close

2016 budget same as 2015 but things have been adjusted like when holis is comeing

book income 4100 line

May is wrong may needs to be moved to April   are these numbers right

November is way to high..as much as $2000 too high.  Projected would be a bit higher than the $400 that is higher.  = how does low attendance reflect on books – new people

$1000  for september wouldn’t november be for Sept if a workshop

more than $1000 for Hollis.

Lecture workshops  feb needs to be $1000

April needs to be $2000

May needs to be $275

November needs to be $1000

Feb  $1000

all others $275

comes out $1200 less.

Send to Chris Nichols

Book expenses:  last year we spent  $6000 budget and spent  $1700  leave at $6000.

had a lot of authors without books. And one wanted all the money from his books.

Projected sales is Bulkeley publisher book is not out yet.  Publisher wanted full price for the books

lower cut – but he hasn’t come through for it.  Publisher.

Media rental income – all over the place. No pattern = on months with regulars they will get we made projection $373.00  would like to buy more that relates to speakers and will generate.  Average has been $24 – $30.00  hasn’t levy any fines.  Projected income should be lower.  Things that need to be speaker related CD’s or a banner to draw attention to media.  Lower to $30  line 4300 instead of $55.00

4310 bill wants to reduce  books income.  Past due will leave on.

2013 $close to $6000 was spent on books.

5394 postcard keeps going up from $700 to $1000

8420  and 8400  accounting services  can be copied from last year.

If we do decide to keep based on quote –  zero for february and the amount for the remaining

hospitality expenses – at Cathy Shepherds house.

Some months we can plug in but lectures haven’t they are in the movie business now and are waiting to hear.

The link is a possibility $250 each time but will hold 60 to 75. St Annes’ not an option. the episcopal church we got kicked out of we had to provide our own custodial help and then

bill marshall is aware of this

do the link during the summer.   Link is $250  60  75 cozy people.

Go ahead and book the summer  Cathy Shepherd motioned to book the link june july august. Deb Herberger seconded.  Not sure if motioned actually passed.  August movie suggested.  Parking  – park across the street at the library.

Pete Williams is speaking this year , Helen Graham has moved Katie will reach out.

Not suggesting we agree to it but made promise to do it. John Gentile asking for $350 plus $780 for friend  –  $830 over $1000  John has agreed to do by himself.from Delaware.  He’s twice as much.  Music was in the background.  John by himself is phenomenal.  Motion peggy that we have john as speaker but not music  Bill seconded.

Sept 16 & 17  Mary Wells Baron – lecture workshop

have not booked for November lecture workshop due to trinity situation

Alliance RED Book  “Titled   BREAK”    can’t advertise to crowd – but katie will work last weekend of April performance times – don’t know.  Hollis is tax weekend.

4:30 break 4:40 reconvene  ipad  katie got switch from his account to someone elses account have account for the jung society?  Transfer of line – $18  transfer fee.  Brooks may be  under contract for 2 years.  We need more of us trained on ipad – real easy to use the app.

Ask don about how to reset 2015 to  2015 now?   Do we need to go back to all and make all non-members.?  Ask don.

It goes to cliqbooks –  those already members template for any kind of cost.  Per don – just money – they will still have to fill out form.   There is a comment field don’t know how it is saved. When this runs it it is done.

Do a whole new charge and make an accountant to the why it doesn’t match the standard template

Publicity:

Mary has written that she will email to us. Katie for BF  don for website newsletter and sending to

Should share the interview on Facebook – Heather Grays interview.

Chris and Mary met he agreed to do Instagram and we will have to get someone else.

Board members should be more interactive and friendly with guests.  Per chris untapped market for young people.  There are young people looking for meaning.  Jung is not being taught as some colleges anymore.   Board members should have name tags.

Mary needs help with add for Creative Loafing.  Mary can do writing but needs help with graphics.  Bill can do the basic layout.

Psychological institue the stepphanie speenberg was wanting to collaborate with the Jung society  she gave info to Pete.  Deb herberger will look her name back up.   

Interested in publicizing at Emory. How about NPR  – paid how much would it cost.  2 stations, one might be cheaper than the other. Far enough away cause it is sponsorship gets then name gets if you are a paid advertiser. How much does it cost?  Bulkeley is free all day on Friday.  If we find out in time.   

Mary needs to talk to Maria Sopporta,  Monica Kaufman Pearson – mary needs to reach out to them.

Katie filling in for Bill for presidents letter.  Down to 16 page newsletter.

Deb wants it out before it comes  it’s going out if blank pages.  Twitter doesn’t list yet.

Newsletter  Don needs volunteers – next is 3 months away.  What about Bill doing media center.  Needs filler.

Can we put the newsletter on line?  We DO have it online.  Send link to FB.

Social media

chris and Bill not M and Katie was going to be the social media.

Has a whole list of things that could be on social media to advertise us and she is looking at other Jung societies to see how they reach out.  The main thing we produce so much awesome content and

website is starting to age – it’s sturdy  bob thinks it’s great.

It works is reliable and don keeps it up.  We need to create more social media = reach out to more people in jung society.  Use our current content, video, give away a lot more stuff., awesome article,  if we could post a link to bulkeleys article – here is his piece on what he is going to be talking about. People committed to print will continue to get print.  Most excited about awesome content and how to post that regularly.

Local seo optimization?  Grab atlantaJung.0rg and atlantjung.net and 301 redirect.

Search engine optimization.

Instagram if we have an account.  Bill can do instagram.   

JungAtlanta is a great handle.  Website.  It would bump us up a medium

bill – one we have could we get a banner behind the speaker. Widget on website.  Only going to know if we constaly let them know about it.

Or a poster near their head. We have blackboard  banner and stand.

Facebook   they change how they feature how they sponsorship and booster.

Peggy library completed inventory for BUT and updated list  but  chris was going to help with this and get it on a computer and set it up so to cross reference and the books would pop up.  Library thing .com

cross reference on books.

app – scan a barcode on the book = if you have in your list the isbn – it won’t take raw titles – must manuyally entire – website can access from any computer – field to check a book out.  Others could log in and look at it and see if checked out.  Peggy putting in the tiny cat – small – nonprofit libraries hoping that there will be ways to take excel files – cause old libraries don’t always have ispn

cathy suggested doing out new books.

Books:

short term working to get books for next lecture. Very slow to get us registered witj company bob will find out tomorrow if.  Deborah said let him know so that –  they can talk to him.  2 books on dreams and Jung – one is not out yet – and she will make sure it is out

will do final check on Hollis books to make sure we don’t run out.

Need to do a board tour to see how we utilize space for the Link summer series.

2 to 5pm  March 20^th  next meeting.

Bill must be able to come in order to do next meeting.   

***O/LD BUSINESS

D&O Insurance  Chris and Bill M will interact with Alice our accounting person re: D&O Insurance.  We may not need to continue with the accounting person since we now have a new treasurer. To be decided.

Electronic Payment Processing

Bill B – Worked fine for media rental                                                                                                                               Bob and Deb – Books – will continue to be the ludite table., until we get a tutorial on how to use it. Brooks will work to make sure the new system is completely set up and working.

RETREAT TOPIC:  Training on how to use Electronic Payment Processing

A/V equipment volunteer needed – Bill M would like for us to reach out to the community to find a volunteer to take this over.    

Name tags – as previously agreed people will take their nametags with them and bring back each event. If people lose them we can remake them.  Updating shouldn’t take long.

***COMMITTEE REPORTS***

Nominations committee  – Current officers have all agreed to run as incumbents for 2^nd term. The election needs to occur at next November lecture meeting – at which time there will also be the opportunity for nominations to be made from the floor.

LIBRARY

Peggy finished the audit of the library today.  Roseli made some changes to the lists which still needs some updating.  Peggy in discussion with Chris about getting computer for the library., catalog, cross  referencing (looking up subject and getting a list of related books), checking books in and out .  Chris will check into Computer related questions.  How to secure – laptop too easy to walk off.  Used computers are available for several hundred dollars. Price will depend on needs and usage.

Deborah has brought a box of books and will donate what we don’t use to the Roswell library.

Cathy will write an article for the newsletter about our wonderful library to get the word out once we have the computer.

Bill B talked about a free download program browser library app for ISBN scanning. The tags are set by them so don’t know if we can add our own. Don’t know if it is a full system that can be used for checking out yet, as app was just released.  It’s up in the cloud and can manually add books.  Disadvantage  –  separate program for checking out is being worked on.  We need more information. Advantage:  would allow folks to go into the cloud and look at what we have without physically coming  to the library

BOOK STORE  –  Bob: all fine. We have a good collection of Jerry Ruhl (lots of copies of his last book) and Robert Johnson (who is 90 years old!) still have hardbacks 3 titles.  Will set up for this workshop and will look and see what we want to add. Pretty much fully stocked.

Deb – program committee to coordinate with  Bookstore so as to position ourselves with new books when authors come to lecture. Will figure out how to phase into modern age with the technology.

MEDIA RENTAL

Bill B. Behind on project of whose got what, out there in the wilds. Most now catalogued into master list.  Now that we have hot spots we can put on google drive to keep track of checking out, and bringing back. And can use Google sheets to keep track of CASH sells – those that don’t get swiped. Swiped goes on Master list. 

HOSPITALITY

Rosali in absentia – asked for someone to do next lecture.  Some discussion around how appropriate to ask audience for volunteers to do food.  Deb suggested formal motion to create a committee to oversee delegation of hospitality so one person does not do it all the time.

PROGRAMS

Deborah answered question we posed last meeting:   whether we can stay later on  Friday night.  No we cannot.  Discussion around shortening the meeting, hate to charge someone $25 for shorter meeting. Movie will be problem to shorten. There is a certain rhythm to our meetings., opportunity for folks to socialize which would be disrupted.  Church closes at 10, cannot do 10:15. Church policy no negotiation.

Deborah asked Trinity about renting parts of Williams Hall and found it won’t save us hardly any money.  Normal price was $500 now it’s $1100 per day. $2200 for the weekend. We could be saving only using part of the hall, would have to move everything back and forth, and positioning some in the hallway instead of in the room. May not be worth it for a saving of $275. Another option is have Hollis in the Fellowship Hall and have a cap on the numbers.

Deborah will ask if we can get a discount for using the hall for only – ½ a day. We could be out by 1:30  We always make a bunch of money for Hollis. Not many places Hollis still agrees to lecture and is pleased that we have a good turnout for him

Bill M from program perspective – Let’s stick with Williams hall for Hollis and agree to do the full space for that weekend.

Under new business – we should evaluate other alternatives for future.

Deborah:  In process of arranging next year.  Jan and Feb is booked.  March is open.  Hollis is April., Kelly Bulkeley will do “Dream Theatre Of The Psyche” and will be very experiential. He has a new book coming out. Summer timing will be 7:30 to 10:00 June, July and August.

Peggy is picking up Jerry and introducing him.   He is staying for dinner on Saturday night. To be decided where. Cathy and Katie have graciously offered the venue. 

Sharon will take herself places because she will drive. Still to be decided Who wants to introduce Sharon?  

NEWSLETTER

Don:  Just went out last week. Good articles. 16 pages more articles this time, no room for poetry.  Middle of January is the next one.  Katie has made a contact that is willing to do an article. 

PUBLICITY – Mary not here yet to discuss.  Chris has been in discussion with her about a publicity plan.  It is noted out attendance has been very down.  Ideas batted around – Deb: get on public television we could wear Jung T shirts.  Cathy – NPR does public service announcements. Deborah – Little blurbs in local flyers, Coupons in Savvy Shopper/Local Flavor.  City Pass. Get Highlighted on NPR’s program “City Lights”. Phone Interviews on Public Radio with some of our speakers.  They would not have to go into the studio.

Deb suggested a focus group.

Bill M:  With respect to PUBLICITY–would be a good topic for the RETREAT. Start a dialogue on how to move forward.  We will ask Mary if she is willing to take it on.  Announcement will be made at meeting to public at large. Prediction is some people sitting out there-one or two people might be willing to have ideas about getting information out there. Bill will talk to Mary.

People have talents that we haven’t tapped into. Prime example is our new treasurer. Bridge that gap on the subject of Hospitality, Publicity and AV Equipment Volunteers.  

Mary is publicity chair. And has asked for suggestions routinely., can we have more folks involved., Chris might be contributing to this effort.

Deb suggested another dept could use a committee – 2 different committees needed now – Publicity and Hospitality.  Can Publicity committee give it a jumpstart and bring it to the RETREAT

Be mindful of how our write-ups  of upcoming lecturers appeal to audience. 

4:17  Break.  4:30 reconvene.

FINANCIALS

Chris: We will slowly transition to new checking account and Jung Society now registered with Secretary of State.  Chris will create a Treasurer Transition Manual- for whomever comes after him.  Transition is going well. Chris taking over more responsibility in order to reduce and lessen the cost of accounting service.  Monthly banking fee is – $19.99.   Intuit charges a flat fee per month   19.95 and then a tranaction fee.

Vanguard – We pulled out $3000 and moved to bank. –  $5,000 out of money market account to pay church. Third page profit and loss analysis ytd and comparison for previous year. Following page – pie charts of our expenses for each qtr compared to last and this year. Chris wants input of what we want to see pie charts? – we can stay with what we have or graphic interface. For January meeting – want to see what we paid out and what came in.  The value of investments have gone up over $10,000 over 3 years. We have plenty of money in investment account but we are not making money.  Do we have a reason to be concerned?  Event expenses have gone up. Do we pay website rental one time a year – yes. Income we’ve only made $361 dollars?  We are lucky it’s not negative. We could be in negative with the payment of rent  $4500.   November will be an income month.  Some events do generate income.  

PUBLICITY Discussion Re-Visited.

Since Mary has now arrived we will pick up the discussion again of Publicity.  We need a more comprehensive business plan for getting people in the door.  Bob – question is how to advertise a speaker in such a way as to attract wider audience.  Mary tried to target audience for Guy-  approached Northside to advertise re: Cancer survivors  but they only publicize free events.  Guy was a great success for those that attended.  The tapes were all rented and people are ordering online.  How to anticipate and translate into more expansive topic as with Guy it was much more than just about cancer.  His talk was mind-blowing., but turnout could have been better.   

Publicity will reach out to attendees at november meeting – will form a committee the initial members of whom are, Mary, Chris, Bill Bridges, Mary wants to ask Rachel Tobin who works as a PR person.   

Can we have white board at front desk to advertise if you join today you’ll get cheaper attendance fees. 

New Strategy:  Facebook just putting out event announcements insufficient to grow. Lewis La Fontaine who was  going to bequeath library– runs website with Jungian content, dependable and reputable – has a bank of content that we could stream.  Hadden could expand us to twitter, could do another trial. If you see something that comes up in the news– send link to Katie.  New energy – Instagram. 15 second video- keep it short and mysterious – clip of speaker – can hash tag., each week pictures of related topic and quotations., the actual instagram page Hashtag Atlanta.  Bill B can get a widgit that points to our            webpage. Between extra energy from Bill B. and Chris, and some social media training for the Board in January, Katie expressed relief & excitement about our social media strategy being able to grow & expand appropriately in coming months.

RETREAT TOPIC: TRAINING tutorial for Instagram, FB, Twitter so we ALL can be engaging in social media feeds.

NEW BUSINESS 

EVENT RATES for NEW Year

Bill:      suggestion to stick with  $25 dollars for CEUs professionals   –   same thing as last year. Charge $25 members  $35 non  $75 members for whole weekend  $85 non. Recommendation we keep the member rates the same    

Cathy Motioned we move to replicate the rates.   Mary seconded.  Motion passed.     

NEXT  BOARD MEETING / RETREAT –  1:00 to  6pm  for January 31^st 

5:45pm  Meeting Adjourned.
