I have blogged about this once before. Since I am an organized person, I often wind up being the one who records the minutes at our meetings. When I send out meeting minutes, I use a format that includes the following sections.

I use the SiteScope site to get a list of events that happened on a particular day.
I get the quotes from a quotations page:
