Subject: GSW Fall Council meeting

Hello GSW Council and other important people,

We need to schedule our fall Council meeting. I have taken a look at the available dates and I don't find that it's going to work to have the meeting prior to a regular GSW meeting. The finance committee is meeting on October 4, October 25 I'll be headed back from GSA in Seattle, and we need to have things sorted out prior to 'the last meeting before the Annual Meeting' (Nov. 8) so we can announce the slate of candidates for official positions.

So: we will need to meet some other time besides a GSW Wednesday. I've drawn up a list of possibilities at this Doodle poll: Please indicate which of them might work for you, assuming that the location will be somewhere in the city, likely at the AAAS building where we met last spring. Let's also assume a mid-afternoon start time. The choices span a month of time, and will be:
Wed., Oct. 11
Wed., Oct. 18
Fri., Oct. 27
Mon., Oct 30
Wed., Nov. 1
Fri., Nov. 3
Mon., Nov. 6

Please enter your schedule into this Doodle poll by the close of business on Thursday, so we can set the date by Friday of this week.

Many thanks!

Callan

Attached are several documents for the upcoming GSW council meeting this
coming Wednesday Nov. 1. The documents are the treasurer's report,
financial spreadsheet, investment policy with recommended revisions, and
quote for general liability insurance. The investment policy document is in
Word with track changes so you can easily see the proposed revisions.
Please look all of these over before our meeting on Wednesday. I won't be
bringing copies to the meeting, so please bring your own copies, either hard
copies or on your digital devices.

See you Wednesday.

Cheers
