            Fall Workshop:

To be done:  We need to mail the flyers and get food.  We also need 2 volunteers to set up for the workshop and 2 volunteers to clean up after the workshop.  Diana North will ask Buddy Bauer what equipment he needs so that we can make the appropriate arrangements.  She will also send out an announcement on the listserve 2 weeks before the early registration deadline, mid-September, 2 weeks before the workshop, and the Thursday before the workshop.

Completed tasks:  Diana has applied for CEU’s, but she has not received a reply yet.  The flyers are printed and ready to be mailed.

            CEU’s

The only opportunity to earn CEU’s through BVID this fall will be the workshop on October 20th.  Sherri Roberts and Diana North will work on ideas for CEU’s in the spring, including study groups using videos and CD ROM programs.

            Recruiting New Members

                        Before the next meeting Diana North will make flyers to inform non-members about BVID and encourage them to come.  These flyers should be included in a packet containing information about the silent dinner at Jose’s, flyers for the workshop, and membership applications (BVID and TSID).  Then the packets will be sent to Kathy for the BISD interpreters and sent to the new Blinn interpreters.
