Chairman Carol Vesely called the meeting to order at 1:06 pm. Carol first mentioned that SACS currently had no Vice President, and the Bob Hoke had been filling in and running the session, which had been that morning. She thanked Bob, and she said that there had been a good turn out for the session. Bob Hoke then gave a Treasurer’s Report. He said that the Section currently has about $4900; however, because we owe members for pre-paid issues, we really have only about $3600 in available cash. He also said that we make a little money on each issue of Compass and Tape, and that 18 people dropped out in 2003. The Section currently has about 210 members. Pat Kambesis next gave the Editor’s Report. She said that another issue of the Compass & Tape is almost finished, and she urged people to write articles. George Dasher then gave a report on the Cartography Salon. He said that there had about 25 entries this year and that he had hung the maps that morning. He also said that he had, during the spring, put together a 70-page book on the history of the Salon. He had brought several copies to Convention. Pat Kambesis took one of these and she asked that the data be sent to her in digital form. Carol said there was a digital mapping class that afternoon. She also announced that there would be a laser-point talk from 2 to 5 pm on Wednesday. Carol then wanted to address the Vice President problem. She said that she had asked Bob Richards to accept this position, but Bob was not at the meeting and had not agreed to take the job. There was some discussion on this issue, while an effort was made to find Bob. Bob, once he was found, was very hesitant about becoming the Vice President; however, Nigel Dyson Hudson volunteered to fill the position. There was also some discussion on whether to replace Robin Barber as the secretary, as Robin was not at the meeting, but Carol said she wanted to talk to Robin before doing this. There was then a short discussion regarding a special issue of the Compass & Tape that will be edited by Jim Kennedy and that George’s Salon publication should be put on the SACS website as a pdf file. Elections followed, and the slate of officers was elected unanimously. Carol made a plea that everyone should renew their dues, and she adjourned the meeting at 1:24 pm.
