Meeting attendees:  Deb, Colleen, Ginny, Melinda, & Gina. 

We met at Abilities Plus in Kewanee.  Colleen Usrey was our hostess.

Old business was discussed and accepted. 

Secretary's report contained herein.  Treasurers report was updated and we did better than expected at the conference.  In a time of budget cuts and a struggling economy we thought we may take a loss hosting the conference, but that wasn't the case.  We just barely broke even but still a great conference and well worth the hard work of those involved in the event.  Please provide feedback as we continue to evolve.  Please encourage other nurses to join

We had a conference call with Kathy Brown, Vice President of National DDNA to discuss the benefits of becoming a chapter.  All voted in favor of beccoming a chapter and an officers meeting will be held April 7th to complete the application and make a plan for implementation of extra benefits of being a chapter.
