General discussion followed.  Jay and Geoff will talk further and
review the current financial market and possible investments in 12
month CD's.  A motion was made, seconded, and passed to accept the
Treasurer's Report.

DATABASE REPORT:  Dana reported current membership is 435.  The
Database is expanded and individuals are sending in their own
updated information along with their dues payments.  

Classmates.com is still an endeavor he would like to pursue after
the Sixth Annual IHHSAA All-Class Southeastern Regional Reunion in
Atlanta, Georgia on April 13th.

Dana reported that he was contacted by a directory service for
Purdue University.  They primarily contact universities and colleges.
It was mentioned that they may enter into the high school arena in
the future.  He requested they contact him should they do so.  It
would provide us with another option for directory services.
	
MEMBERSHIP REPORT:  Jay reported that Diane Cornett has resigned due
to personal scheduling conflicts.  We will need to find a replacement
as we would like to follow-up with mentor programs involving alumni
members -- both local and out-of-town.

Jay reported that he had been contacted by Steve Hilmer (Class of
1968, Past President of IHHSAA, 793-9958) regarding the formation of
a College Fair consisting of IHHS alumni.  It is believed that a
possible three-year commitment would be needed.  The E-Mail Newsletter
is believed to be our best outreach at this time.  Jay and Steve will
talk further regarding this matter.  It is hoped in this way we could
attract students earlier in their high school career by gearing toward
the Sophomores and Juniors.  It was noted that college/university
applications need to be submitted in the senior year of high school
no later than Thanksgiving for consideration and/or acceptance.

ARCHIVES REPORT:  Greg reported that he is currently collecting,
cataloging, and holding items in his home.  No commitment has been
made for a rental storage container.  He has investigated several
possibilities and will advise us when larger space is required.
Files, file cabinets, boxes, and other proper containers for photos
will be needed.

Jay brought a box containing photos and memorabilia to the meeting
for Greg.  It was suggested that we take time at a future meeting
to attempt to identify some of the subjects and catalog them.

It is our desire to collect copies of "The Legend" yearbooks from
each year for our archives.  It is also believed that we can use
the yearbooks to help re-create records of various historical events,
administration, faculty, sports, awards, etc.  Peg stated that within
her family they have yearbooks ranging from 1968 to 1981 that could
possibly provide resource information.  Bill has yearbooks for 1954
to 1987 that could be used for resource information also.  Greg
reported that the Indian Hill Historical Society has copies of "The
Legend" available.  It is also hoped that we can recruit information
through our E-Mail Newsletter.

Dana discussed an e-mail that he had received from Herb Hillard (Class
of 1954) and his concern for recognition of athletes from 1954 to 1980.
An item on this subject appeared in our March E-Mail Newsletter.

SOCIAL REPORT:  No official report was given as Shari was unavailable
for this meeting.

Dana reported there are currently 30 RSVPs for the Atlanta Reunion on
April 13th.  It is unclear how many may show up at the door.  It was
noted that there was no RSVP deadline given for this event.  Trustee
members who will be attending are: Bill, Dana, and Joan.  Bill and
Mildred will be driving down and staying with friends in the area.
Dana and Joan will fly down and stay near Scott and Elizabeth Lyon's
home in the Buckhorn area.

Bill volunteered to collect and take recent building information for
the new IHHS.  Dana will take:  current list of attendees, nametags,
pens, membership forms, and IHHSAA banner.  He and Scott will work
out payment for expenses incurred.  Scott's dues were comped.  It is
hoped that Class Representatives and other leadership may come from
this reunion.

Bill reported that he sent e-mails and received returns.  He also
mailed out approximately 26 personal notes and received no replies.
He mentioned alumni who responded to his outreach and will be
attending.  It was noted that Ken Juergens (Class of 1956/Captain
with TWA) has been a faithful supporter of our events and the IHHSAA.
It was suggested that if closer followup had been done Ken and others
may have been in attendance.  It is believed that we need to encourage
new as well as those who have attended past events.
States contacted for the Southeastern Reunion were:  Virginia, North &
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and
Louisiana.  The Masters Tournament and IRS deadline were considered to
be possible conflicts for this weekend.  A more favorable time of year
was discussed.

In summary:  	Notice was included in January mailing.
		Separate flyer mailed under cover to 8 or 9 states.
		E-Mail Newsletter promotions.
		Bill personal outreach.

MARKETING REPORT:  No official report was given as Nicholas was
 unavailable for this meeting.  Activity regarding Delta Miles was
briefly discussed.  Peg mentioned that she had gathered data from Bill
on the origination and development of the IHHSAA.  It is hoped ideas
can be incorporated in marketing and scholarship promotion.

THE LINK:  It was reported that a "Quick Link" had recently gone out.
It was believed that the last issue of "The Link" had gone out as a
graduation issue in September 2001.

MISCELLANEOUS:  Jay will continue to reach out for a suitable attorney.
He will also follow-up on a copy of non-profit status.

WM. P. KINCAID SCHOLARSHIP:  Peg expressed appreciation for the recent
transfer of funds.  She has carry-over applications as well as current
to review.  She will report back at a later meeting.

Peg discussed potential endowments (sub funds) that could be created
under the umbrella of the Wm. P. Kincaid Scholarship Fund.  It was noted
that a gift had been given anonymously in memory of David McLennan (Class
of 1960).

Peg reported that she and Shari are joining to promote a Golf Outing to
raise funding for the Wm. P. Scholarship Fund.  They are forming a
committee now and are hoping the event will take place in Spring 2003.
This project will be a large undertaking and volunteers will be needed.
Rick Pitcairn (Class of 1972) has volunteered to chair this Golf Outing
Project.

E-MAIL NEWSLETTER:  Dana requested Peg to submit articles covering the
Wm. P. Kincaid Scholarship Fund and Golf Outing for our April E-Mail
Newsletter.  It was also suggested that Bill submit interest stories of
former Superintendents and/or Administrators of IHHS. Deadline is April
15th.  Call Dana if time extension is needed.  Also, consider Summer
Break and topics.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Joan K. Ewell
Secretary
