Minutes of meeting held on 12/13/94

Jayashree, Ashok, Charu, Srinivasan, Santosh, Siva and Mala 

Even though we do not want a rigid organizational structure, we decided to have the posts of coordinator and treasurer for practical reasons 

Coordinator : Siva Athreya and Jayashree Janardhan 

Jayashree will deal more with liasoning with other Asha chapters and Siva will deal with other issues. 

Treasurer : Santosh Daniel 

The following action items have been assigned to the various members: 

Note : The next Asha meeting is on Tuesday Jan 3rd at 7:00 pm 

Jayashree +++++++++ 

Talk to Asha Stanford/ Berkeley about the projects and shortlist a few of them that seem feasible for us to do. The idea is to use this info in our flyer. It was the general consensus that having a list of 3 -4 projects would help us appeal to more people. 

The flyer needs to be finalised and the plan is to have it designed in Microsoft Publisher before the next meeting. Also the idea is to mail it to everyone so they can have a look at it before the next meeting. 

Srinivasan +++++++++ 

Update the Asha - write up with feedback from others. Once that is done, convert the document to TEXT format and send it to the core members. That will allow us to have this material readily available in an electronic format. Scan through the existing MOSAIC information to make the Asha write up comprehensive. 

Mala, Charu and Anne +++++++++++++++++++ 

Read up all the UW material that gives ideas on fund raising. Present this in the next meeting for further discussion. 

Charu: Update the Asha database with new addresses and also add the address of other Asha chapters to the database. 

Siva ++++ 

Iron out the details of setting up a bank account for Asha Seattle. 

Setup a distribution list for all the core members of Asha, so we could all send mail to an address like : "asha-core@u.washington.edu" 

Setup an email account for Asha - asha@u.washington.edu (This will have to be monitored ) 

Coordinate with IAWW once we have the flyer ready and decide to publish it in their newsletter (sometime in Jan) 

Santosh: +++++++ 

Touch base with Asha Stanford or Berkeley to figure out how accounting is done etc. This will allow us to borrow most of their methods in maintaining our funds. 

Talk to KINKOS about getting discounted rates for making copies of the flyer. It was decided that we will try to use recycled paper as far as is possible. 

Once we decide to fully publicise Asha, coordinate with INDIA TAJ management regarding having an Asha awareness month /week. 

Bash: ++++ 

Coordinate with Jayashree in getting a preliminary draft of the flyer done. 

Once we decide to fully publicise Asha, coordinate with JOKERS management regarding having an Asha awareness month.
