11. Find Local Printer to have T-shirts (option of individuals paying extra for the big kid sizes) & Calendars made.. & Decide the qty and the amount of funds that will be allowed.

marketing committee

12. POTM- and what members will receive when they win, other than a t-shirt and or what will be given to the member if they win the Picture of the Year award.... I guess this will also fall into place with the TOTM & TOTY...

TOTM - choice of maast shirt or sticker and plaque? possibly just a nicer plaque instead of shirt also.
POTM - choice of maast shirt or sticker and free calendar at the end of the year?

13. Appointment/approval of someone for the head moderator position. This can go along with clearly delineated mod processes and procedures. Although most of that will probably be covered in the terms of use meeting.

Jack Watkins? - bylaws old & new allow sponsors/commercial members to serve on and head committees.
