Minutes of September meeting approved.

Treasurer’s report read and approved.

Director’s Report: Wallace will be going to Wilmington, DE, for next board meeting.  Discussed the electoral districts.  There are 160 chapters at present.  Two were added this year, and five have been lost.  One has converted to an NMRA chapter.  Newest chapter is in Alabama.  A proposal has been put forth for a part time executive  director.  Wallace believes this proposal may be defeated.  The 2013 convention will be in Anchorage, AK, September.

Old Business: Ricky reports that Steve (Miller) is still working on the archives.  Ricky challenged the chapter to be more pro-active in preserving the archives, especially the younger members who will benefit most from them.

New Business: Our Christmas Dinner/Meeting will be held at the Center, Monday, December 5.  Wally will contact Ballard Catering to confirm the date.  There will be no regular meeting in December and no formal program for the Christmas dinner.  There may be a guest speaker.  Members are encouraged to bring show-and-tell items as in years past.  This is primarily a fellowship event.
