Fred Sabin led a discussion on nominations for the NJCC Founders' Memorial Award Scholarship.  Tom Kehoe moved that a $500 scholarship be provided to a Union County College student who met the applicable criteria. The motion was passed.
 

NJCC monthly programs were discussed. The second meeting, on the fourth Wednesday, will be eliminated, except for special circumstances. Attendance has been insufficient. It was agreed that getting adequate publicity was one of the problems. AMD is scheduled to make a presentation on the May 14th and Dragon Naturally Speaking by ScanSoft is a possibility for September. Other possible programs were brought up. Use of individual (non-corporate) presenters appears to be a solution for filling out the program. Jim Russ, Tom Kehoe, and Stephen Emde discussed possibilities. John Beck mentioned a church-group that needs instruction on Front Page. Fred Sabin suggested exploring joint meetings with other computer-groups.
 

John Beck made a motion to lower NJCC dues. The motion was for membership dues to be reduced to $24 a year, except for members paying dues before the first of the year, who would only have to pay $20. The motion, which is to be implemented in 2004, was approved.
 

Tom Kehoe made a motion that the Club purchase a new projector for presentations. The resolution on the present one does not permit the projection of the full monitor window on to the screen seen by the audience. The motion was approved. Jim Russ, in consultation with others, will recommend a specific projector. Actual purchase of said projector is contingent on getting the approval of the Executive Committee through email or at a meeting.
 

Doug Beck indicated that there were problems with the present Club computer during presentations. John Biegel made a motion that the Club consider the purchase a new computer. Doug Beck is to research the specifics and make a recommendation to President Fred Sabin. The motion carried.
