The Minutes of the November 5, 2006 meeting minutes were approved unanimously.

Chair and Treasurer’s Reports:
Jonathan reported that the Division planning is moving along. Heard from GGFC that they will be unable to host the SNQ Epee event as planned so it will be hosted by Sonoma at the University along with the individual and Team Foil events as no other club is able to host. Jonathan also noted that the late start of 5 pm proposed for the Saber SNQ event at HFC may be an issue and asked if we could check with Greg Massialas on having the space available earlier so we could start at 4 pm. We also still need to clarify with the USFA if a separate Div I Team SNQ, separate from the JR team qualifier, needs to take place. If it does, it will be held in May with the Y14 and Y16 events. To be determined and adjusted on the website later.

Ed Hon reported that the financials documents dropped off at GGFC by Glenn Willette disappeared and that he will reconstruct the past 12 months financial by getting copies of the checks and deposits made to the accounts. He will then prepare the 2005-2006 financials ready to file which are overdue.

Account balances as of 2/23/07:
Certificate of Deposit Account (1 year term): $14,800.35
Checking account: $7,064.94

Ed Hon Recommends we move most of the checking balance into a long term CD and only keep around $3,000 in the checking account. A motion was made and unanimously approved to have Ed invest the funds into a 1 year CD to increase interest earnings. The 2006-2007 financials are due to the USFA by August 2007.

Division Observers for the March and May SNQ events:
Jonathan, Bill Cracraft and Emily Vanderlaan will be the Division observers for the March SNQ competitions. Jonathan, Ed, Emily and Chloe will act as Division observers for the May qualifiers.

Chloe will provide each observer with the manuals, rules and pre-qualified lists needed.

PCC Elections Report:
Bill Cracraft provided an overview of the PCC elections process. Two groups are currently competing for the elections. A motion was made and unanimously approved to appoint Bill Cracraft as the Section Representative and Peter Burchard as the Member at large, both representing the Northern California Division.

Selection of nominating Committee:
Bill Cracraft agreed to chair the Nominating Committee and Peter Burchard agreed to participate with Greg Massialas to start the process of recruiting volunteers to run for the Executive Committee positions for the upcoming June elections.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 pm
