The SSCS planning committee discussed our Morton participation and decided to
take a passive financial sponsorship position in the Morton Contest.  We will
provide $500 with no strings attached to the Morton Paper Contest.

 

Electronics/Manufacturing History Museum:

The History Museum participation was discussed.  We are currently not planning
assistance for this effort.  The Museum has had cost overruns, delays in
opening, and its director has left.

 

Background (not discussed this meeting): During our January planning meeting,
Bob (Peruzzi) said there was a request for volunteers to help identify a
truckload of Western Electric/Bell Laboratory artifacts and memorabilia
intended for inclusion into a planned museum near Steel Stacks in South-Side
Bethlehem.   George Allerton, Austin Bleu, and Chuck Adomshick working with the
LV IEEEE are heading this work. 

 

Treasurer Report:

No formal treasure report this meeting.

 

Planning Meeting Venue:

New ownership of Sammi?s Pizza has instituted a room charge ($80) and if this
cannot be negotiated away, a new venue for our next meeting will be arranged. 
Bob Peruzzi will contact Sammi?s and Glen Offord will investigate other
possibilities. 

 

For the committee,

 

Glen Offord, Secretary
