Intro of Officers – President Mark Andrich, Vice President Korey Hart, Treasurer Jim Donley, Secretary Carl Thayer

 

Secretary Report – Minutes stand as printed in the flyer.  Motion to accept, seconded and passed.  Remember to update your address if you move.

 

Treasurers Report – As of 31 December 05 the MVOR had $12,104.55 total.  Copies of the entire report are available on request.  Motion to accept, seconded, passed.

 

Old Business – the President (and others) have been unable to fid a reasonable insurance policy to cover our traveling event.  The MVOR will work with host groups to resolve insurance situations in the future, but will now cease the fruitless search.

 

Matt Forir has yet to complete the conditions of the $500.00 grant, given for his carbon dating project, (Riverbluff Cave in Greene County) and has not responded to attempts to contact him.  This prompted a motion to “prevent a group/individual from receiving any second grant without first completing all conditions of previous grant”.  The motion was seconded and passed.

 

New Business – Lester B. Dill Award discussion about how to nominate and who approves nominations.  Discussion about the award, a chrome-plated carbide lamp.  Kerry Rowland volunteered to build the next few awards.

 

            MVOR website updates will include past Lester B. Dill award recipients along with nomination guidelines, and minutes from previous business meetings.

 

            BATL Grotto donates $100.00 to the MVOR Conservation Fund.  The passing of time took longtime MMV caver Steve Every.  Motion to donate $100.00 to MCKC in Steve’s name from MVOR Conservation Fund, seconded and passed.

 

Announcements – Thanks to MVG and Camp Zoe for a nice place and a nice time.  Fall ‘06 MVOR by MSM at Buckhorn MO., September 29, 30, October 1.  Shriner’s Club camp same as a few years ago.  Spring ‘07 is still open and available for hosting.  Fall
