VP report - nothing fannish to report

the President had nothing fannish to report, but we said 'hi' to Matt, Cliff, Calia & Relando, all visiting us for the first time

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Lisa announced she is going in for an MRI & asks for our best wishes that it show something

Dave C announced June Foray died at age 99, a consummate voice actress & announced Al Omega is trying to trademark 'Creature Features' & it's messy & announced DVDs for 'Class' are selling at Walmart now

Mo asked who is going to Helsinki & suggested we try to have good turn-outs here during Worldcon time

REVIEWS:
Cliff reviewed 'MST 3K' as a good loud crowd & that the commentary was the best he's seen

Dave C reviewed 'Valerion' as the main character is a callow youth & that it pales in comparison to '5th Element' - there was a lack of chemistry between the characters, worth matinee

Adrienne reviewed 'Despicable Me 3' as she slept through parts of it, so she can't rate it & then reviewed this week's 'Orphan Black' as O. M. G.

We did auctions

Adjourned at 8:33

And the rumor of the week was = 'Will you do the fandango'
