Think Tank Gathering
Greg Stewart recommended the board meet for dinner where everyone can throw out ideas on how to improve MABE during the next term.  Dave Lathrop would like to see the plan of action extend to 18 months so there is time to develop agenda items.

Additional Suggestions
Chris Curran offered several suggestions included making it easier to bring in guests and new members as well as holding current members accountable beyond their paying dues and showing up for only half the meetings.  He also recommended group buddy lunches as a way for members to get to know each other better and improve moral.

The group discussed Robert Busch's idea of having a quarterly social gathering.  It would be informal.  Members would pay their own way.  The idea would be to promote comradery and improve moral by meeting in a more casual setting and getting to know each other better outside of the regular breakfast meetings.

The meeting was adjourned.
