        Three representatives were mentioned
1. DeDe Moore from Vincennes University ASL program.
2. Amy Flint from Bethel College ASL/English
Interpreting Program

Student representatives are a great asset.
    The spring retreat was a great success. The theme
was "Camp ASL." The profit was nearly $3000.00. Grant will be written
for the 2001 spring retreat, possibly in January. This will give us start up money for next year. Lynn Frye will coordinate it.
Minority grant was for $33,000.00,and we received $16,500 for this
Annual meeting.. The board wrote the grant in two weeks, thanks to Jayne Kercheval. The Indiana Chapter of Black Deaf Advocates (IBDA) and interpreters of color are able to attend the annual meeting at no cost.
    One goal of the President is to represent Indiana
in each issue of The Views.
    Janet Beattie, Newsletter Editor, has done a great job. The recent
INSIGHTS is excellent.
    ICRID web page is (www.icrid.org). Beckie (Noller) Madigan is the Web Novice. If you go to the RID web page, we are linked under Affiliate Chapters.
    ICRID has a hotline for any questions that people may have. The phone number is 317-767-4407.
   Last July's Region III meeting was held in Kentucky. Those who worked for that conference did a great job. We were in charge of the silent auction. Shawn Klingbeil co-chaired with Dave Calvert and got
many donations for that auction. Eighty-eight items were auctioned and the amount raised was over $18,000. ICRID donated most of the items. Some items were; a poster signed by Bobby Knight, a Pacers book bag, and an interpreter bag (which went for over $300). Region III meeting for 2002 will be in Detroit. 2004 Region III will be in Indianapolis.
Kentucky profits were $28,000.00. Of the monies received, Region III
received 40% and Kentucky RID received 60%. The theme for Region III meeting in Indianapolis has already been chosen. The theme will be centered on Indianapolis being the "sports capitol of the world".
2001 RID National conference will be in Florida. In 2003, the conference will be in Chicago.
    Board of Interpreter Standards (BIS) members were
recognized. The members are Jerry Bass, Judy Cass, Sue Holsapple,
George Perry, Ann Reifel and Myron Yoder. Deka Kloepfer called and stated there is a vacancy on the board and she is taking applications.
    The goals for 2001 are:
1. Revisit the bylaws of the organization.
2. Increase fund raising and grant writing.
3. Plan to send the President to Florida for RID convention, or maybe
send the entire board.
4. Use the talents of our members. Each committee will have five spaces for volunteers. The explanation for each committee is with the sign-up sheet in the cafeteria.
Awards
    Three individuals who started in January have made
a great impact as Student Representatives. Awards were given to these Student Representatives. They are Amy Flint, Val Lalka, and DeDe Moore. An award was given to Catherine Huston, who worked on Deaf Community Services (DCS) 2000 workshops. She will be the
permanent interpreter for the board meetings. The next award was not given to an individual but a group of individuals. Without this organization, Indiana Association of the Deaf
(IAD), there would be no ICRID. There has always be a
representative from IAD on the ICRID Board. Jerry Thixton will be at the meeting and will receive the award.
Treasurer's Report given by Randy Nicolai
    The income for this year was $9,952.
    Clarification of statement: The total amount of $6,500.00 was only for the court-interpreting workshop, nothing else. Attendance was limited to 25, and that was the total of attendees with two
observers. The report will be separated out in order to show
purely membership fees.

Report on last year's AM was given by Dave Calvert since he was the chairman. It was held at Crowne Plaza. Other than parking
problems, everyone was pleased. We are thinking about
going back there next year. Sue Holsapple gave the report to Dave Calvert. We did take a loss on the AM. We had two grants that did not come through because of 503(c)(3) papers that did not get
in by the deadline. ASR profits helped to balance that out. This year's AM was covered totally by a grant. Dave will be more aggressive to get more grant money for next year.
 
Dave Calvert gave the ASR budget report. Lynn Frye was unable to attend this meeting. There was a $3,000 profit from Annual Spring Retreat (ASR)
  Dave Calvert gave the Ways and Means budget report. Bob Canty was unable to attend this meeting. Another category will be added entitled "send the President to Florida fund". We will plan fundraising to send the President to the RID conference in Orlando. Bob Canty
will add this category. Plan to put $3,000 into this fund.
    Questions about web site charges, which were initially higher, and from that point on is just a maintenance fee.
    Waubonsee Community College (WCC), Region V, lost
the grant but SLICES will be carrying the grant. We will get a check
for $3,000.

End of committee reports at 09:50

Old business from the last AM
    The body wanted the Indiana web site to be linked to RID and that
has been done.
    Request that the Ways and Means be reworked and itemize the
budget. Bob Canty did a great job of breaking it down.
    A question was raised about the amount set aside for the President to go to Florida. Why was that amount of $3,000 used? It was explained that the cost would cover the flight, hotel and two day educational
workshop before the RID meeting. That cost was to be covered by writing the ASR grant and then profit from ASR go directly to the President's fund. RID conference is on the grounds of Disney World. No
Registration and hotel fees announced.
