The meeting was called to order at 3:54 PM, with the regular presiding officer and secretary being present.

Brian Seklecki joined as a new member.  The waiting period for voting was waived by unanimous consent.

The Chair announced that Patrick Wagstrom was selected by the Board of Directors as Member of the Year for his contributions to WPLUG in 2007-2008.  Mr. Wagstrom was not present to accept in person, so Dave Kraus volunteered to mail Patrick his award.

The Secretary reported that there are 26 members on the rolls.

The Board of Directors election was opened, and David Ostroske and Christine Rial were appointed to be election tellers.  After all members present had the opportunity to cast ballots and absentee ballots cast by the Secretary, the Chair declared the polls closed. The meeting then recessed for the speaker presentation and to give the tellers time to tabulate the results.

After calling the meeting back to order, the tellers committee reported and the Chair declared the election results:
 Elected
 Vance Kochenderfer
 Mathieu Dub&eacute;
 Michael Semcheski
 David Kraus

As only four of the five seats were filled, it was moved that completion of the election be postponed to the November meeting.  The motion was adopted.

The meeting adjourned at 5:15 PM.
