The business meeting began at 10:42 AM. Doug reviewed the minutes from the October meeting. Scott has been very busy and did not have time to promote the meeting as much as he would have liked. We still have not received the by-laws back from national headquarters despite a couple of e mail requests. Because of this we will again hold off on collecting dues and electing officers. We will not have a December meeting and will resume meetings again in January 2000.

Scott sent an e mail to the Central Iowa Chapter in reference to helping them with programs and got an e mail back with wording to the effect that they were not really interested in our help.

Lee brought up the topic of wanting information on the New Madrid fault and this instigated interest in having a program on earthquakes. Jeff knows some people at the USGS In Iowa City and will contact them to see if we can arrange a program on earthquakes for the January meeting.  The tentative meeting date is January 22nd, probably in Iowa City. The week of January 11th is the AMS Annual meeting so that week will be out.

The meeting adjourned at 10:55 AM. Minutes were complied by Doug Beadle.
