The board met at Lake Highland Prep.  Attendees were: board members Lonnie Keck, Bob Reed, Kevin Hunsicker, Joe Marszal, Rich Marrotti and Charles Ray, and guests Frank Lasta and Doug Hefner.
A motion was approved to accept the minutes of the Nov 11 meeting.
Doug turned over 81 tickets for the April magic game to Charles to hold them.  The invoice specifies we purchased 84 tickets, so Lonnie will follow up with the Magic.

A motion was approved to donate 40 of the Magic tickets to the charitable non-profit group Nathaniels Hope.
A motion was approved to accept the proposed contract with the Gateway center for performance in January, pending confirmation that we will not incur BMI or ASCAP copyright performance fees.
A motion was approved to direct the chorus manager to quote a $200 minimum to any inquiry for a quartet performance, subject to further negotiation by the quartet, and to request the quartets to return 20% of any proceeds from such performances to the chapter. 
A motion was approved to fund attendance at the January Leadership Academy in Ocala for Charles, Randy and Jon.  

Kevin reported that an ad hoc board meeting was held on 12/9. Attending were Charles, Kevin, Rich and Lonnie.  At that meeting, they approved a motion to authorize a cash expense of $215 for the chapter's afterglow.
