......The bi-monthly meeting was well attended with 14 members present. Welcome to all the new members!

......It was decided that dues would be collected on Sept 1st and as dues are so low they would not be pro-rated as new members join throughout the year. As of 4/10/08 the treasury has a balance of $541.06.

......The new CZOO (Chimpanzoo) data base was discussed and members voted on the word coding abbreviations. Of the 14 members present, 11 of them felt that they needed either new or additional training before starting the CZOO research project. Decisions will have to be made as to who will do the training and when.

......As of 4/10 Bev has received 7 chimpanzee personality profiles from Dr. King. Hopefully, all the reports and statistics will be completed prior to the next meeting in September.

......Members were reminded about the LCS hours for obsevations. Remember that the practice sheets are in the back of the sign in book.

......Members had some excellent ideas regarding enrichment activities eg. themed events. Sounds like there's going to be some exciting and interesting things to do for Sunday enrichment.

......Bev showed some movies of her South America and Antarctica trip. I think some people are ready to sign up for penguin research also! Just kidding Eloise.
