• Philip: Called Sam at AH and left message. Making progress on Directors insurance.
• Dan: Weird membership issues due to problems left over from older user database. He is working on tracking it down.
• Ski: Can charter members renew their charter membership by paying back dues. Board decided yes. Need to record as large membership if civicrm and manually fix the membership dates.
