The meeting of L. I. Nassau Chapter was held at the church on Merrick Road in Baldwin, NY on January 14, 2004. The meeting started at 7 PM. Eight members attended. The minutes were read and approved. Our treasurer was absent and will give his report at the next meeting. New business discussed:

• We are in the process of establishing an emergency contact list for all active members.
• The executive board has decided that we will no longer send out the newsletter by mail. We will have them available at http://www.eccardt.com/ptg.
• Allan Schumacker reported on the status of bills that were sent out to newsletter advertisers.
• Allan initiated a discussion regarding the clarity of the ads in the newsletter. No formal action was taken.

Our technical was by Steve Fairchild, Sr. It dealt with a new temperament Steve developed. His method is designed to account for more of the inharmonicity. It is called the " E.Z. Tune Temperament". Steve showed us some tools he modified to help in tuning and promoted the Sanderson Accu Tuner III. He offered assistance to anyone who wishes to get more information on his tuning method.

I spoke to Kent Webb a few days ago, and he said that he is getting married on February 12. The name of his wife-to-be is Tuya Gyamcho. She is from Mongolia, and they will be getting married in Jamaica (where it's warmer!!) We all wish him happiness.
