Guest and possible new Member:  Catherine

Notation:  Due to a last minute cancellation by Barnes and Nobles, the meeting was changed to Atlanta Bread Co. who was more than accommodating and offered us their generous last minute hospitality.  An immediate message board was posted regarding the last minute change as well as, Janet, calling everyone she knew numbers for to tell of the change.  The manager of Barnes and Nobles assured Janet of placing a notice on the door regarding the change for our members, but did not, which caused some problems and bad relations to new members. 

An online Chat was posted and opened with BigOrb.com for all members who could not attend.

Open Discussions: 

New Member Greetings:  to Catherine, our newest member.  Coming to our group with many years of sensitivitythat she has recently accepted and learning more of, as well as, plentiful notes she has taken and written of her experiences and locations of possible investigation.  Welcome on board Catherine! 
 
Change of Meeting Date:  Conflict with 3^rd Tuesday of the Month scheduled meeting to be changed:  Tina - founder and lead investigator not able to attend due to school, as well as others who have other prior commitments for this date.  New date suggested was 2^nd Wednesdays of the month, with February 11, 2009 being our next meeting, starting at 6:30.  Voting was opened to everyone present and agreed upon.  Tentative location:  Greer Library, will give update once confirmation from library received.  Will need new location for Spartanburg, due to the problem of this meeting and broken promises.  

Member dues:  A discussion of possible member dues should be created to later buy equipment for the team and or any “hospitality” help for members in need.  Everyone present agreed and a set fee of $10.00 each month will be due, starting at the next meeting:  Wednesday, February 11, 2009.
