Old business

Awards ceremony: The club made $48.48 in profit from the awards night, Compton reported. Compton also suggested some changes since the workload of doing the award banquet is nonstop in conjunction with another awards banquet he organizes a week before the Press Club awards dinner night. Some suggestions included: Moving the night, moving to an electronic system of both submitting and distributing entries and eliminating the honorable mention award. Compton said he will come up with some suggestions.

New business

PPC membership directory: Compton said he will have it this summer.

Location of forum for high school students. It is tentatively scheduled for mid-September at the Daily News’ new office in Menlo Park.

Annual picnic. Carter said she is planning for it Saturday, Sept. 8 at her house.

Other

Changing the name of the club: Mays suggested holding a discussion about changing the club’s name to better fit its work. San Francisco Peninsula Press Club or Bay Area Press Club were two suggestions Mays made. Casini will put the idea on the next agenda.
