Amazon certificate.

preliminary draft is due by 3/31, and the deadline is mid-April. The PR
material has been shipped.
* We have had 57 people vote via zoomerang for our elections, which will
close 3/5. We still do not have a candidate for Second Vice President.
* Kathee reported we have 456 members, but this number may go down if
people do not renew. Our new member orientation will be at the 3/20
program meeting. We approved having a free program meeting any time
during the year for anyone who successfully recruits a new member.
Kathee would like to mail people who entered the competition but are not
members, mentioning that they would have saved $25 on the entry if they
had been members.

that we are recommending against establishing a scholarship at this

financial need.
