 1. A discussion was held about our group becoming a member of the Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education.  Because of lack of interest and difficulty with funding, no action was taken.

2. Dean Talbott gave a review of the spring luncheon.   (See minutes of previous meeting).  The meal will include a choice of lasagna or chicken Florentine, a Caesar salad, mixed vegetables and a special dessert.

The Frietags will act as dining room host and hostess.

Judy Harrington will pick up the nametags from Brenda the day preceding the luncheon and Nancie and Judy will pass out nametags at the table.

There will not be a head table, but the speaker and those to be introduced will be seated near the podium.

Our guests will be President Koob and his wife, the Provost Podolefsky and his wife, Bill Calhoun (his wife is unable to attend), Julie Pontasch, the Director of Gift Planning for University Advancement, and Brenda Jordan.

Len Froyen will give the invocation.

Dean will look into having a sign posted at the back door to let people know the luncheon is on the lower level of St Stephens.

There will be no valet parking.

Dean will check with Ron Camarata to see about getting centerpieces from the greenhouse for table decorations.  The flowers would then be given to guests or sold at a nominal cost.

3. The location of the spring luncheon for 2005 has been moved from the IPAC veranda to the ballroom where it will be warmer.  The luncheon is scheduled for May 5, 2005.  Rental for 1/2 of the ballroom including the meal will be $1500.  Good parking will be a real bonus to the new location.

4. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

1.  Our first discussion concerned the expiration year of each member's term.  The dates are listed above.

2.  Brenda Jordan from the Alumni Office presented a report of our financial status.  We now have $3,035.25 in our account.

3.  Bill Waack reported that the newsletter is finished as of the time of the meeting and is off to the printer.  To save on postage it will be mailed out this year with the invitation to our annual spring luncheon.

4.  Dean Talbott reported that plans for the May 1 luncheon are completed.  It will be held at St. Stephen's Catholic Center.  The social hour will begin at 11:30 with the lunch following at 12:00, and the cost is $16. The meal will be catered by Sol Cracco.  We will be entertained by the California Sax Quartet and Sue Doody will give a visual tour of the new Cedar Falls library.  Reservations have been made for the 2005 spring luncheon on the new PIPAC [i.e., the now being constructed PIPAC Centre located on the corner of Hudson Road and Technology Parkway], veranda.

5.  A discussion was held about who keeps track of names of spouses of deceased emeriti.  At present Dean makes sure that Brenda knows, and Brenda forwards the names of the deceased to Bill Waack so that he can add the spouses to the membership list.

6.  A discussion was held about programs for future monthly luncheons.  The membership has already indicated they do not want programs at each luncheon.  It was agreed that programs should be short.  A suggestion was made that Bob Hardman present a slideshow on model trains.

7.  A list of new people who have applied for and received emeritus status was distributed.

8.  The meeting was adjourned
