In the Spirit of Play: Concern by listener regarding show on 12/10/07. Question of whether the guests were self-promoting and/or making a call to action regarding their foundation.

Dead Beats: No longer airing. 11PM to midnight slot is now open.
Mystery Train: Todd to find out why a 48 hour notice was not given regarding show cancellation.
Curiouser & Curiouser: Programmer will be out of the country for a couple of months. Barbara and Graham Dean can use that time. Agreed.
3. Roll over of volunteer hours:
The Board suggested that we "roll over" volunteer hours to the next term given the fact that many programmers have not completed their 6-hour requirement.
The Programming Committee voted to roll over the hours but to let the Board know that is was a bad plan,and that the Board must act to ensure that all opportunities are offered to programmers to do volunteer work. The Programming Committee does not see this as our responsibility, but the responsibility of the membership committee and of the Board. Ananda was to present this position at the next Board meeting.
Due to the hour (10:30 P.M.) all other items on the agenda were tabled.
NEXT PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE MEETING: January 8, 2008, 7 P.M., Friend֒s Meeting House
