Other people have also contacted him about running for office on the party ticket.

The Chairman is working on three press releases that should go out within the week.

The Secretary reminded the members that he had previously circulated draft minutes for the March 8, 2005 meeting of the Operating Committee. Mr. Hey moved the adoption of the minutes as published. His motion was seconded by Mrs. Winters, and adopted by unanimous vote.

The Secretary reported that the Newsletter has been picked up and will be mailed by Thursday.

The Treasurer reported that the party's bank balance is $2350.11. The printer's invoice for the newsletters has not yet been received or paid.

Mr. Hill reported progress by the Finance Committee on the fundraising proposal.

Mrs. Winters reported that the Public Relations Committee will meet again Thursday to continue work on the annual PR plan and the next newsletter.

A discussion was had regarding problems with the party name being dragged into unsavory discussions on the internet.

There being no further business, upon motion made by Mrs. Winters, seconded by Mr. Hey, and adopted by unanimous consent, the meeting was adjourned at 10:22 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
