Click - a small snapping noise - clique - a small group
I feel that one way to handle things would be to clearly mark the preliminary minutes as DRAFT - Preliminary Minutes or in some similar fashion.
Another possibility might be to label a section of the website as EC meeting news with a disclaimer statement that these are not the official minutes but rather a pick of items that might be of wide interest. For example, if the someone tries to legalize the crossbow, or if there's a big hunt coming up or fellowship activity, members might want to know about it. If a hot check is being discussed or someone not paying their bill, it probably doesn't have to make the post. A draft of main ideas could be typed up right after the EC meeting, approved by the President and posted and that would be a good, quick way to let the membership know what's going on.
I think something that gives a brief financial update. (like how much is in the bank), and the main points of the meeting as in the preceding para, could be done, without it needing to be the official minutes and it would serve to keep the members informed and interested.
