Motion: to approve the minutes from April. (John, James, by acclaim).

Brian is still looking into the information about backboards; he hasn't found one that meets the chapter's needs.

Committee Reports
Elections: None

Treasury: Final cash flow report was handed out; it shows that the chapter made a profit last year. Projected budget for the upcoming year was also handed out, but the projected income for the upcoming year is still needed.

Registry: Still working through polices. All the information had been entered. Charlie is donating a laptop for registry so it can be taken to game sites. It is now requested that the GM sign off on any items traded between players at a game, as well as for items lost and acquired, in addition to the registry rep's initials.

Sanctioning: Everything is moving along. The only question is whether having 6 games in a 12-week time frame is preferable to having 4 games in 8-weeks followed by a break. This was followed up with a discussion about the burnout factor that may occur and how to reduce this. Grain of Truth is going to be scheduled.

Quartermaster: Pat is still looking for people to work with game designers to make sure all props are put away after a game.

Safety: Three people took the first aid class yesterday. Discussion was held on how to remove a tick.

Events: Opus Con pulled in twelve names at a one-day event. Requested a way to follow up on contacting these people. Membership committee will handle the follow-up. Next event is Ben Con, which has a prime location between the food and dealer's room. Costume workshop is going to be help on May 31st.

Awards: None

Membership: Still have members. Contacted by a family in Canada that wishes to join us for games. See Events committee report for Opus Con summary.

Melee: A new copier is now in use. The last Melee went out with good response. Dan submitted brownies.

Archives: Got two more game copies.

Old Business
Metro/Denver merger: Got some contacts, but no one has said they want to join the d/b chapter yet.

Membership feedback session was held previous to the board meeting with some good feedback. Responses are going to be posted in the president's column.

Trademark is going to have to be reapplied for. It will cost $325. Information was sent to society.

Props replacement: Still evaluating

Producer award: Discussion held on people who have written and produced in other chapters and should we give them the producer award for those games. Tabled until next meeting.

David McMillen has offered to donate a pickup to the chapter. Discussion. The board wishes to thank Dave for the generous offer, but at this time the chapter is going to have to decline, due to it being to bit of a liability.

Item to note: We have gotten a couple of people to volunteer for quartermaster reps, but still are looking for more to make it so reps only have to volunteer once a year.

Next board meeting is June 20, at 1 p.m. at Cook Park
