Members present: Darin Starr, Harry Stone, Virginia Wessing, Marty Tichenor, Betty Vollmer and Jene Crook.

Guests present: Mark Moore, Terry Hartman, Mary Alice Holmes.

Call to Order: President Darin Starr called the meeting to order at 10:45 am.

March Minutes: Harry Stone moved and Jene Crook seconded that the minutes of the March 16th meeting be approved. Motion carried.

Treasurer's Report: The treasurers report was also approved on a motion by Jene Crook and second by Harry Stone. Harry noted that he is working on an additional corporate sponsor.

Calendar of Events: The calendar of events was discussed. Darin has been unable to reach Scott in Howard County for his input. He noted that Slater, Sweet Springs and Arrow Rock, all in Saline County, are already running calendars of events on the Internet. Darin then passed around a sample of one he is working on. The setup might even permit pictures of events. A big issue is the way the calendar will be kept current and the way people will submit events for inclusion. Darin prefers electronic input rather than paper submissions to avoid large amounts of retyping. It might be possible to work with someone to handle updating the calendar in exchange for advertising on the submission forms or acceptance pages. Perhaps high school students would be interested in updating the calendar. Major issues remaining: where will the site be housed? It needs to be able to handle frequent updates. What information will be needed concerning events? Darin will check with Mid-Mo Telephone or Computer Magic about housing the calendar to take some of the space pressure off Mark. We already have 713 pages on Mark's server now. The group agreed on the name Mo-River.Net Community Calendar and authorized Darin to continue working on it.

RTEP (Rural Telemedicine Evaluation Project):   Mark Moore, Terry Hartman and Mary Alice Holmes were present to discuss RTEP and the need to continue the Health Network currently in place. The current funding is expiring. The group is looking for a 501 C(3) organization to write grants and "catch" grant funds for the program. This would also require financial responsibility for the program and it was determined that, although the concept fits within Mo-River.Net's guidelines, the organization in its current evolution is not prepared to take on such responsibilities. We agreed to consider other ways Mo-River.Net could support the Health Network, but they will look elsewhere for the financial support they need.

Health Fair:  It was announced that there is a Health Fair June 12 in Boonville from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is an opportunity to promote Mo-River.Net. Harry, Virginia and Betty agreed to work the Health Fair.

The next meeting date, time and location will be announced later.

Harry Stone moved and Marty Tichenor seconded that the meeting be adjourned. Motion passed.

Respectfully Submitted,

Jene Crook, Acting Secretary/Treasurer
