Re: [Discuss] [Board] Meeting 3/10/09

Good idea. I believe that the board should be very independent from the disd and other organizations even though we would do a lot of work with them. It would keep us honest.

Thanks

I think this should be a item on our agenda, that way we save our comments for everyone to get a broader perspective.

I think a "no dependence on school facilities" policy is a smart rule. Obviously we love the school but that doesn't mean we will always agree with its management. We do not want to be in a position where someone can say "if the alumni don't do X then we will stop receiving your mail". I'm not trying to be antagonistic or paranoid but I do think we should be practical. 

Earth Class Mail would let us pick up mail remotely and order it to be shipped wherever we like for permanent filing. They have a $9.99 a month plan with 1 user or $19.99 for 5 users. I think the $19.99 plan would save us money, give us a permanent address and save the secretary the trouble of driving across town to pick up mail. Please read over what it offers because I think its a bargain all things considered.
