Programming Committee 10.09.08 * sorry for the delay

Keely apologizes that these minutes were NOT posted last month

Present: Eddy Kennedy, Linda Kennedy,Keely Malone, Butch Bouchard, susan seymour, derek Goodwin, Lila Wolan-Jedziniak, Bush I

Profanity:
We got a message about profanities that was probably a joke.  Vincent is no more because of profanities.  Issue put to rest. Standards are better.  People are more aware.
Peter Sky is suspended for no shows.  Knowing that folks are listening has helped people to be responsible about their shows.
If people tell us if they can’t make it and make appropriate arrangements the consequences don’t follow. People are signing in and attendance has improved.
