Greetings to all cryonicists


The Venturists held their 2008 Board Meeting, here is a brief report of that 
meeting.
 
The following people were elected as Directors: 
Dr. Mike Perry, 
Robert Ettinger,
David Pizer, 
Trudy Pizer, 
Shannon Vyff, 
Mark Plus, 
Dr. Mark Voelker 
John deRivaz was re-elected as Special Adviser 

The following people were elected as officers:
President = David Pizer

(This probably will be my last year as President and I hope we will have a 
younger more energetic person for President next year).
First Vice Presidents = Mike Perry
Second Vice President - Shannon Vyff
Treasurer = David Pizer
Secretary = David Pizer

Shannon gave a report on how the compilation of members is going.

David reported on O'Rights fund raising campaign. 

David gave a Treasurer's report.
a. $11,141.86 in the bank for William O'Rights
suspension.
b. $18,480.72 for Marce Johnson's suspension
c. $3,369.99 for our general fund.
d. So we have a total of $33,141.86.

We had a Discussion of fund raising ideas

We discussed Mike making medallions and cryonics jewelry
for fund raising.  

We discussed starting a Hall of Fame for
cryonics pioneers.  Mike and Shannon are going to create a
poll and other methods to find out if there is a market for
this.

We had Discussion about having the Venturist members elect the

Venturist Directors next year.  We hope to have better records of who the 
members are by next year and to have more involvement.


We are looking for cryonicists who would like to serve on the Venturist Board 
and other positions with the entergy and desire to help the organization grow 
and find ways to serve the cryonics movement.  Anyone with interest please 
contact me at 

Best regards to all

David Pizer
