Minutes of Regular Meeting – July 2, 2006
Bloomington Normal Citizens for Peace and Justice

Co-Chair Jan Cox called the meeting to order.

Robert Braam from "Potluck Democracy" made a presentation
requesting our support and donation for the Mosul Hospital
Fund. It was suggested that we give them support on our web
site as an endorsement of this peaceful organizing group.
Individuals were encouraged to support the proposal if they
choose.

The North Shore Coalition for Peace and Justice is promoting
awareness of the UN International Day of Peace of September
21 and encouraged all member organizations of the Illinois
Peace and Justice coalition to sign pledges and join with them
in their actions. Links to web sites to encourage such action will
be posted on our web site. Carrol Cox moved and Ruth Gnagey
seconded a motion to that effect. There was no objection voiced.

The proposed meeting with Jamal Nassar as speaker is still not
scheduled. We need a date in October, so Carrol Cox will check
with Bob Broad about a meeting place and time.

The Eyes Wide Open exhibit may be scheduled for late August or
early September. The following people volunteered to help set
up and/or guard the exhibit: Gary, Gregg, Ruth and Bill Gnagey,
Roemarie, Sara, Rebecca, Barbara, Jack and Jeremy. Jan Cox
will coordinate. The cost of the exhibit will be $250. We will
determine when and how to pay for the exhibit after Jan gets
more data.

The BNCPJ Tee shirts are in and for sale at $10.00 each. We
have 30 men's and 30 women's shirts.

The Treasurer's report, given by Treasurer Gary Gletty, showed
at balance of $730.03 after the tee shirt cost of $490.20 was
deducted.

After a discussion concerning dues' payment schedule, Carrol
Cox asked for a plan from the board for adding dues payment to
the by-laws. It was also suggested that we begin seeking 501
C3 status.

August 6 is Hiroshima Day and it is also our regular meeting
day. A committee was set up to plan a remembrance on that
day. Ralph, Gary, Gregg and Rebecca will communicate with the
group when the plans are complete.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:23 pm.
