2. First item is to approve the September & October 2011 minutes. Jessica Fitchett noted a correction for October minutes, which showed Jessica attending, but she said she did not. Cheryl motioned to approve with correction. Kelly seconded.
3. Wendy discussed an idea from Claire Schapiro, a member at large. Claire sent Wendy information for mini-seminars and approached Wendy at the October meeting to discuss. The mini-seminars would be held in Sedona or Prescott. Speakers’ fees would be from $0 to $400. We would need to help cover location costs. Wendy e-mailed idea out to the board, which had a mixed reaction. Some don’t want to drive to Sedona. This would be in addition to our monthly meetings. Any thoughts? Is anyone willing to drive to Prescott or Sedona for 2 CPE credits? Wendy will send out whole PDF to entire Chapter and will be brought up for discussion again.
4. Our December meeting will be a gift exchange. Where should we go? We have been to NiMarcos, Sakura & Taverna. Wendy will send e-mail and we will vote on location by e-mail.

Cheryl has this opportunity to have a focus meeting with our chapter, scheduled for the 8th of December in the National Bank Conference Room. Only 2 people have responded so far. Please RSVP if you can attend, Wendy & Diana gave Cheryl their RSVP at the meeting. Cheryl will send out e-mail again.
