I. Recap of old business and Last meeting
II. Viewing of first draft of Letter for Bulletin and Saintly notes by Dan Lemcke. It was agreed to review it and also make a shorter, one paragraph version for alternate usage.
III. Marie informed us of the need to act swiftly on the design and bidding of the Computer lab. Nick reported numbers he received from Apple for the computers. A rough outline of 23 stations (computers and furniture), 2 laser printers, and an overhead projector was proposed. In addition the committee will investigate Smart Boards to see if they could be brought in under whatever budget is approved. Mark gave a presentation of his company (Core Plus) and the Thin-Client services it provides. It was decided that Mark, a technical representative from his company, and Hank will meet before the next Tech. Comm. meeting to further investigate a proposal by Core Plus. IV. A movement was made and so passed that the work of the individual Task Forces should be suspended in favor of dedicating all resources to completion of the Computer Lab design and execution.
V. The date of the November meeting was moved up to further expedite this. The new date is Nov 11th at 6:30 pm in the Library.

Thanks to all who attended, and special thanks to Mark Landry for some great new ideas.
