Mark L. to create shortened rules for students. Need to chart out process of administering contest. Verify which winners go to R5—1st place through 3rd? Need to structure around what R5 prizes are. Need to come up incentives, on top of cash—attendance to R5 is controlled by R5 not by Section.
Mark L. put out proposal, based on R5 program—still waiting on approval.

Educational Activities
IEEE Financial program—Rummer wants, in the fall, a one-day or half-day session with someone from Piscataway to present on this. A pre-summary would be a good recruiting tool.
Rummer suggests planning for 1Q2002 a presentation on distributed generation. Speaker from IEEE Speakers Bureau: Patricia Huffman. IEEE-1547, Richard Diblasio. Various other programs also available. Items appearing in IEEE Spectrum. All of this would be part of a one-day seminar. Barry proposes allying with PES dinner meeting.
Possibility of sharing financial risks/rewards with St Louis Section.
Misc.

Chili to be made, will probably host at Intertec. Mark L. to make arrangements. Meat (if possible to have there) will be on the side, as will extra cayenne pepper.

Next meeting is 2nd Thu of August. Need to send agenda items to Randy by end of July.
