Summer intern Marla Johnson was introduced and spoke about her experiences to date at the House of Ruth. Scott Conover commented that the P.A.A.M. has the longest running (8 years) sponsorship of a summer intern.

Minutes:
Minutes of the January 12 meeting were distributed and approved. Mention was made to confirm the $100 honorarium to Dolores Price and to reexamine the question of whether she might continue assisting with the financial records in her retirement or whether someone else could be hired to help.

Treasurer's Report:
The financial report left by Bruce Fleming showed a balance of $13,298.23. Contributions toward the Summer Intern Program totalled $1,105 toward the $1,500 obligation. Bruce had suggested to Scott that Board members could be solicited to make up the balance.

Book Awards: Scott Conover planned to ask Francis Smyth to assume responsibility for this Committee as Dave Heubeck is leaving the Board. Patrick Cairns offered to help with this Committee.
