Show report. Security is lined up,
the educational program is under development, and the Tukwila Community Center
is ready for us. There is one table left unsold. We will start a waiting list
soon. McKivor suggested that we need a “name” speaker for the numismatic
theater. Who to ask and how much to spend to bring and lodge him/her are left to
the show committee. [It will be ANA collections manager Chris Connell.]
Greg Franck-Weiby (moneyer) is making a special
coin for the Portland ANA 2004 convention. Dies would be $100 each plus the
costs of planchets. We could have souvenirs for registration (pewter) and silver
pieces for sale at the show. The show committee will proceed to explore this
opportunity.
Web site report. The web site is
still getting over 100 page-views per day. ANA is hosting it now, so we are no
longer paying hosting fees. The webmaster (Eric Holcomb) is looking for
articles, current information on shows, and other content to place on our site.

ANA summer seminar
scholarship applications are out. The scholarship is open to any PNNA member.
Dues must be submitted with the application if the applicant is not a member.
The deadline is 15 March. The review committee is Scott Loos, Lisa Loos, and
Kathy Rowe. |
|
It is time for
nominations for the Bob Everett award. |
|
The PNNA is again
running the “design a quarter” program for 5th and 6th grade students. The
Seattle Numismatic Society is going to operate the program in up to 25
classrooms; other clubs are also involved. PNNA funds awards for up to two
classrooms per school; participating clubs provide the balance of awards. The
designs of individual classroom winners will go to the PNNA convention for
final judging. |

PNNA educational
seminar — the committee is working on fall 2003. The Courtyard Marriott (the
convention HQ hotel) is not expensive if we use the hotel’s food service. We
can also get the ANA involved, making it an official ANA educational forum, but
also splitting any profit that is made. We could still pick the topics, and the
ANA would assist in recruiting speakers (and ANA would cover some of the
logistics, such as processing registration and issuing completion
certificates). The committee is looking for the board’s preference for
direction. Moved and seconded (Gaye/Rowe) to do a joint project with the ANA.
Question from Holcomb — would our committee still be responsible for picking
the topic? Yes. We are looking at doing parallel topics, two at the same event.
Passed. |

Cushing — the casino
chip collectors want to use a room in the Tukwila Community Center for a
low-level bourse on Sunday of the convention. Billings — it’s probably OK, but
we need to coordinate with the community center and look at how admission fees
would be handled. Some reservations were expressed by members present. Holcomb
— the show committee should have discretion to rent it out if appropriate. No
motion was presented. |
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 PM.
