3. Z read a blessing by John O’Donohue.

MEMBERSHIP DATA BASE (Jennifer)

2. Board agreed that the next lecture would probably be large, so we should have plenty of food.

2. Deborah suggested making sure we have enough of Hollis’ books for the December meeting.

MEDIA/ SOCIAL MEDIA (Bill)

2. Z asked for Bill and Aja to connect.  They agreed to do so once schedules allow.

TREASURER’S REPORT (Don)

1. First three pages are budget vs. actual currently.  We have lost $10, 681.  This may be due in part to not having an October meeting.

Article 4 Officers Section 1 (as it currently reads): The elective offices shall be President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

Proposed New Section 1: The elective offices shall be President, Vice President, and Secretary. Section 1 a: The Treasurer will be appointed by the executive board.

1. Van submitted an article on Marion Woodman.
2. Cathy is going to get an article on Robert Johnson.
3. Jutta had originally signed up, but is no longer able.

PUBLICITY (Cathy)

1. Festival follow-up discussion:
   1. Jennifer said the festival went well.  They touched a minimum of 500 people with bookmarks.
   2. Aja agreed to send out a welcome email to the email addresses that we got.

2. Decatur Book Festival Exposure- what worked/ what didn’t
   1. Jennifer suggested we get a table cloth that covers the whole table
3. Shall we do it again next year?

NEW BUSINESS- Part 2

1. Fees: The Board agreed to keep the membership, lecture, and workshop fees the same as last year.  Unanimously passed.

Introduction: Cathy will ask Peggy if she will do it.

1. Workshop Discussion- Do we need four a year?  Or would we want to do shorter ones?

We used to do 3 workshops plus the retreat.

• Feedback: Karen said she enjoys the workshops.  Jennifer said she enjoys it when they are workshops, not lectures.  Deborah said she always requests for experiential elements, but sometimes the speakers don’t actually do this.
• Karen suggested doing 2 shorter workshops (9 AM-1 PM) and 2 longer ones.  Don suggested this could be good since we would have a new data point to see if this affected people’s attendance.  Deborah said we would try this next year.
• The group was interested in having Steve Buser do a lecture and workshop.
• Jennifer said David Bedrick in Santa Fe, NM would also be a good choice for a workshop.

1. Sound Glitches- any way to make this not so much of a wild card? Becca used the earpiece, which worked better than all the ones before.  Don said the sound is as good as it is going to get.

• Don is recording, but he stopped selling them online because no one was buying.

1. Computer- PowerPoint and Images- Cathy asked- should we purchase a computer?  The problem seems to be that speakers don’t know how to hook their computers up to the projector.

• Deborah shared that David Solem had shared the Jung Society in New Mexico has their own computer.  This allows for consistency.
• Bill and Deborah agreed to research options.

BOOK SALES (Deb and Bill)

1. Deb asked about Book Expenses on the treasurer report ($1, 240).  Deb shared that she attempted to make some purchases in December, but the sale did not go through until January.  She clarified that she did not need to be concerned about the budget.  Don agreed and said they can buy as much as they want, if they are selling.
2. Inventory- Bill shared that there are books that haven’t moved in a while.  Those may be worth discounting.  Chiron recently sent some books that were overstocked.  Bill is going to sell those at the next events. We sold out of The Red Book readers at Becca Tarnas’ event.  We are going to re-stock these as soon as they are back in print.  Deb suggested we check with Chiron.
3. Cathy asked if we have any books at home.  No one said yes.  Bill does have some CDs at home that he will bring in since the CD stock is now lower.
4. Bill asked if we could get some new storage crates.  The ones we have are cracked.  On Amazon, you can get 6 for $130.  The board agreed for Bill to purchase these.
5. Deb asked for Bill’s help in purchasing books.  Bill asked that Deb send her an email with a list of books she’s interested in buying.  Deborah, Z, and Karen expressed interest in the Toni Wolff and C.G. Jung book.  Deborah suggested getting 25 of Jerry Wright’s book if we can return the books.
6. Catherine Meeks edited a book that is on Amazon.  Bill asked Deborah if she could ask if she has a connection with Morehouse and if we could get the books at a discounted rate.

MEDIA/ SOCIAL MEDIA/ FACEBOOK (Bill)

1. Jennifer shared that when she asks, people say they heard of JSA through Facebook.  Bill suggested boosting it from $35 to $45 to see if that would have an effect.  The board took a vote and unaminously agreed to do this.    
2. Bill talked about Amazon Smile.  It’s set up for charities.  Don said that JSA has an account with Amazon.  Bill found JSA on Amazon Smile.  Don is going to look into this and advertise this in the newsletter.

ATTENDANCE (Don)

1. Don passed out the attendance sheet.  Karen noted that we are doing as well or better than last year.  Deborah reminded the board that this April makes it a year since we have been meeting at the new space.

MEMBERSHIP DATA BASE (Jennifer)

1. Jennifer had no comments. 

NEWSLETTER/WEB (Don)

1. Don shared that he got some feedback from his email.  Jennifer offered doing an article.  Cathy suggested asking our upcoming speakers.  Deborah said she would ask them.
2. Deb offered to do a music review on 2 CDs (John Prine “The Tree of Forgiveness” and Willie Nelson “Last Man Standing”).

   

PUBLICITY (Cathy)

1. Cathy expressed difficulty with putting out postcards.  They are too big.  They are also very expensive.
2. Cathy sent info on Becca and Honora to NPR.  Nothing has materialized.  She is also going to send info on Catherine Meeks.
3. Deborah suggested advertising this next event on Atlanta Planit.  They do some advertising on the radio.  Cathy said she is not sure how to do this without paying a lot of money ($6,000/month).
4. Cathy put our name in to do the Georgia Public Television telethon.
5. Cathy asked for suggestions on where to advertise.  Bill suggested she look into Hometown News.  Jennifer suggested the book fair in Decatur over Memorial Day Weekend.

HOSPITALITY

1. Deborah asked for more variety with the things that are brought.  Z said she would follow up with Mahshid on this.
2. Jennifer offered to bring homemade food for this next meeting.  Jennifer: Email Cathy with what you are willing to bring.

NEW BUSINESS

1. Survey: Cathy asked if we would want to do a survey for this next meeting.  Don said he is interested in two things: asking about referral source and asking if a 9AM-1PM workshop would make any difference.  Cathy said we could also do raised hands beforehand.
2. Policy for when people want their money back: Z shared this woman was upset because David Solem didn’t show the movie.  We gave the money back as a one-time thing.
3. New Volunteer, Jay, who is helping with nametags.   He is a member.  Friday, Jay can get in free.  Saturday he has to pay.
