=== Officer Reports ===
==== President’s Report ====

* Nothing to report
==== Treasurer’s Report ====
* Not present
==== Events Coordinator’s Report ====
* The “Superhero” movie outing is March 30, Carlton will coordinate, it will be at the showing closest to 2pm.
* Dr Who night was awesome, the turnout was pretty great. I counted 29 people at one point, which makes it one of the highest attended ones ever (the record is 34 at the show’s 40th Anniversary party in 2003). I had a terrific time and am grateful to everyone who showed up.
* The picnic is March 29 (Saturday). I will do the shopping, but I need a couple of folks to help set up, cook, etc. The ingredient for the Iron Chef competition is Mango. Everyone come to the picnic and bring a friend!
* I will be out of town for the April Doctor Who night, so I’d like to find a surrogate host.
==== Public Relations Coordinator’s Report ====
* Response to the request for member feedback has been lackluster. Dan suggested Carlton use Surveymonkey to assist him with obtaining more feedback.
==== Internet Coordinator’s Report ====
* Internet traffic was 35.2MB for March. Previous months traffic was 30.8MB for December, 07; 99MB for January, 08; and 92.5MB for February, 08.
* For March, 08, there were 194 “calendar” hits, 53 “about” hits, 44 “gallery” hits, 39 “game night” hits, 32 “SIG” hits and 30 “Who” hits.
==== Historian’s Report ====
* The historian is currently accumulating photos and requesting SOVO articles from last year.
=== Special Interest Groups Reports ===
==== OutWorld Writers (Bil) ====
Last month, we met at Ken’s to discuss Wm’s story and to talk about the future of the writer’s group. Wm suggested the group’s interacting more electronically; however, the members agreed to continue with monthly face-to-face meetings. Our March meeting will be 30 March (instead of the usual fourth Sunday), and it will be at Amanda’s house.
==== OutWorld Readers (Bil) ====
We met this month to discuss Born on a Blue Day bu Daniel Tammet. Tammet is a British autistic savant, and this was his autobiography. We found it interesting even as we saw how his condition (Asperger’s Syndrome) led to a methodical, terse writing style. Next month, we’re discussing Death’s Master by Tanit Lee.
==== Strategy Gaming ====
Met on 15 March.
=== New Business ===
A proposal was made for $100 for Outworlders branded item to sell at pride.
The Pride committee has not provided much information about Pride preparation. We are looking into T-shirts, refreshments for people manning the pride booth, and a Pride social or picnic. Is there anyone who will volunteer to coordinate?
The DragonCon table has been confirmed and there is a suite reserved for the party.
A New convention is in the works. A GLBT Sci-Fi convention that will be one day, November 15, 2008. There is hope for a full convention on Columbus Day weekend 2009. Scott Tatum will be Con Chair. Table space at Pride was requested to provide information about the convention this year.
=== Old Business ===
“Hellboy 2” is July 11
We are still checking to see about a table at Timgate.
The meeting adjourned at 3:00p.m.
