An Executive Committee meeting of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society - Midwest was held on August 11th, 1985 at Todd Fishers house in Chicago with Todd Fisher, Hal Thinglum, and Bill Protz present. The by-laws of HMGS-EAST were discussed as to how HMGS-Midwest would utilize them and several changes were made. These by-laws will be printed and distributed at the Milwaukee Historical Weekend o October 5th, 1985 at a general membership meeting. Current HMGS-Midwest projects were reviewed and a discussion was held as to possible costs the organization may incur and the best way in which these costs could be covered. It was decided that dues would be asked of members to the amount of $2.00 per year and that donations would be solicited from conventions, hobby stores, distributors, and manufacturers. Attempts would be made to mount a membership drive. It was determined that the by-laws of HMGS-East required specified officers, thus Hal Thinglum was selected as President, Bill Protz as Vice-President, and Todd Fisher as Treasurer, As stated above, a general membership meeting will be held in Milwaukee on October 5th, 1985, to identify hobby shops in the midwest area who support our hobby was made and I would like to ask MWAN readers to send me a list of such shops. Once the list is put together, they will be contacted and provided with information for all conventions within the Midwest area so as to make as many people aware of them as possible. If you are interested in joining HMGS-Midwest and supporting our hobby, please send two dollars to Todd Fisher, 6908 N. Oakley, Chicago, Illinois, 60645. We could use your support!!!
