Member List Database:
Andrew and Dave will get together 11/26/13 to consolidate all members into one spreadsheet.  Would like to get this into a database (possibly Microsoft Access) that all can use.  Dave will ask Aimee if she can enter and maintain this database.

Discussion about if HLA should actively pursue having Associate Members.  A past Board Meeting suggested after a lack of support to keep this voluntary.  If the members are interested in being members they could give presentations at general board meetings and obtain membership list.  Motion:  Moved by Harry to have a two year associate membership for $100.  Seconded by Duane.  Motion carried.
