Mr. A.F. Kristjansson acted as
Chairman and Mr. B. Neil Johannson
acted as secretary of the meeting. The
meeting was called to order at 7:45
p.m. following an excellent dinner
organized by the Bruin Chapter of the
Icelandic National League. Mr. Krist-
jansson thanked Jack Bjornson and
the Bruin Chapter for having made
the arrangements for the meeting and
for being such gracious hosts.
The Chairman informed the direc-
tors that notice of the meeting had
been sent to all the directors and that
the required quorum of directors
were present. The meeting was then
declared to be duly constituted for all
purposes.
On the motion of Norman
Bergman, seconded by Harold Good-
manson and passed unanimously, the
reading of the minutes of the last
meeting of directors of the Company
held on October 14, 1982 was
dispensed with and the minutes were
adopted as if read.
The meeting then turned to
business arising from the last
meeting.
Financial statements for the Cor-
poration to December 31, 1982 and
to January 12, 1983 were circulated
to those present. Thrainn Krist-
jansson advised the meeting that
while as of January 12, 1983,
disbursements had exceeded receipts
by the sum of $6,833.47, the Cor-
poration had not received anticipated
grants from the Icelandic Govern-
ment, the Canada Iceland Founda-
tion and the Icelandic National
League totalling approximately
$16,500. He further indicated that
advertising for the Christmas issue
had increased from $3,100 last year
to $3,600 this year, which he felt, in
view of the current economic
climate, to be satisfactory.
Einar Arnason questioned whether
the grant from the Ieelandic Govern-
ment would actually be $8,000. A.F.
Kristjansson said that financial
statements for the period ending Ju-
ly 31, 1982 had been sent to the
Government of Iceland in August or
September of 1982 and that recently
Jonas Thor had called the Icelandic
Counsel in New York to follow up
the current status of this grant ap-
plication. Mr. Kristjansson said that
no word had been received from the
Government of Iceland on this ques-
tion so he was unable to say, if in
fact, the grant would be $8,000. Einar
Arnason told the meeting that the
Icelandic Grant Committee, in a let-
ter to him, a copy of which was
published in Lögberg-Heimskringla
on November 26, 1982, had praised
Logberg-Heimskringla as being a
