Resolution and Discussion:
1) Annual Banquet on Saturday, 4/24/2010
-- Keynote speaker: as Richard Lee contacted 3 previously suggested candidates, all returned message stating being unable to serve the purpose. Consequently, re-suggested 2 more candidates, ??? and John Liu. Mike Weng will try inviting Mr. Kuo first. If not available, Tom Su will invite John Liu.
-- Entrance tickets: Philip Chang is responsible for design and then send to Staple store for printing.
-- THSAA directory - decided to publish every other year that there is no 2010 issue.
-- Door prizes: There are two opinions, i) maintain the way we did last year that each director contributes $100 buying a few big items. ii) each director contributes $50 and a prize, which is equivalent $50 value.
The above matter didn't come to a conclusion. Nonetheless, it is clear that the majority wishes increasing the number of prizes.
Tom Su stepped up voluntarily. He would try to persuade the mayor of Tainan contributing one bigger prize.
2) Activities
-- The previously decided activity of visiting museum of art and design at 2 Columbus Circle, Manhattan on 3/20/2010 extends to 3/27/2010. Edward Hsu is responsible for organizing the event.
3) The next board meeting - pending.
