1. Announcement
Clay Kaufman will be teaching in Turkey on a Fullbright for the school year 2000-2001. Congratulations, Clay , and many, many thanks for a great job in leading ISMAW for the last two terms.

2. Treasurer's Report was distributed at the meeting; contact Betsy Bennett if you need to obtain a copy. In order to continue to pay for the upper school math meet questions, base dues for 2000-2001 were raised from $30 to $50.

3. Today's Meeting - Fran Young of GDS is retiring after many years of service to GDS as well as to ISMAW. We will miss her and we wish her well!

Textbook lists were distributed along with Upper School Math Meet Results for Meets 5 and 6.

Peter Kelley at St. Albans knows of two math/science candidates. Contact him at St. Albans if you are still looking for teachers for the fall. Matt Frattali of Queen Anne is looking for a math position in the district.

Buzz may not be available to write upper school math meet questions for next year since he's been cast in a Broadway play, so the search is on for a new question-writer. Do you know anybody who might be interested in doing this? Contact Clay. We've been paying $1000 per year for this service. Clay may have some contacts, and Joan suggested Richard Brady.

Karen Dee Michalowicz did a fabulous presentation of the old math books - some were 400 years old!! She had several for us to look through. A great job, Karen - thanks for sharing your incredible expertise in this area!!

To continue to welcome new schools to ISMAW, the first meeting in the fall (Thursday, September 21st at Maret) will be "Bring a friend" Meeting. We ask that each member school bring a person from another school. The agenda for the upcoming year will be set at this meeting (along with the dates of subsequent meetings), which will be an exciting task, and the more people we have, the greater the possibility of interesting topics and involvement of new schools.

We also need two more persons to assume leadership positions for 2000-2002 (a two-year term). Please, please, please!!!!! This organization is run by volunteers - help us out here! We ask that each school consider contributing to the continuing existence of this group. We all agreed that it is definitely a group worth hanging on to - so volunteer to be President or Secretary!!!!! Contact, Clay, Karen, or Betsy!! Our term is up!! Nancy Wright has generously offered to be the new Treasurer.

Dinner was served. Many thanks to Penni and Karen for organizing the feast!!
