Meeting Minutes, from the November 21st, 2011 Meeting:

We made introductions with Abigail and discussed her potential involvement in the co-op.
Next steps are for us to vote and if it is unanimous, I will officially invite her. Please see my separate email with the link to vote.

We spent a long time discussing recruitment. The outcome of that discussion is:
- Kate will contact her 3 families.
- Jen will contact her two (or was it 3?) families.
- We will strong-arm Gina mercilessly until she submits to the heavy hand of the co-op!! 8-) Joking. (Partially.)
- We will all be looking for more people. I will judiciously post to Astorians, Why Leave Astoria and Queens Mamas, but would encourage you all to post ads to your parenting networks.
-New recruits will be invited to the next meeting, which is Jan. 16, MLK day, again at Jen's house.

We are going to rejigger roles and responsibilities. We will fold the secretary duties into the the leader position, which will now be a 3-month position. We will pay this person 4 points per term. We will adopt formal bylaws and enshrine them on our blog at the next meeting.

Celia will finish out the year as secretary, and I will finish out the year as Blogmeister and Leader.
Starting in January, Jen will assume Facilitator duties and Michael Anderson (Ginny's husband) will assume the role of Blogmeister. (Blogmeister will be reduced from 6 points per 6-monmth term to 4 points per 6-month term.) We will determine the rotation for the rest of the year at the next meeting.
