PM Ontario Time.

2.Agenda - The Agenda was developed as we proceeded.

3.New members - Jones and Company (Sherry Jones) in Halifax; 
Lois Ross, John Stevenson; 10 new from Full Moon over Killaloe. 
Every one should pitch their friends and relatives to join.  We have 
lots of "Oooh I should join" types - $25 til the new Millennium

4.Financial Statement:
"What is a communist? - one who has yearning for equal 
distribution of unequally earned wealth...." 
      There is still roughly $847 in the CSIRP Bank Account. Plus 
$10,000 in GIC.  Both sound art projects has
      small surpluses.

5.Newsletter - we can cover the next one, but it needs income.  
CMG has been approached to sponsor.
Others should be approached.  $400-500 would be nice.

6.Current Projects -

	a) Radiant Dissonance carries on.
	b) Meeting with Federal Government
	c) John M and VF are meeting with the Canada Council.

newcomers.  Deadline end of month. 
VF is posting our rate card to the CSIRP list.  VF and Hal will 
mass mail to various equipment companies.

7. Moved (VF) seconded (AP) that Hildegard Westerkamp be our 
second honourary member.

8.  Past Projects: 	

a) FMOK was an amazing success, and will most assuredly be 
repeated next conditional on funding.
b) Bells and Whistles much the same.

9.Future Projects - 

a) we may soon be able to get ongoing funding from the Canada 
Council based on this year's experiences. John and VF  are 
proceeding with Art projects.  
b) Andy suggests doing sports workshops in conjunction with 
basketball championships at Humber College. Maybe Special 
Event station.  Budget and funding comes first.
c) Drama - Hal has talked to CBC people.  Funding is next.  That's 
the hard part.  Vf - our goal should be an application to Trillium by 
end of November.
