Categories under specific menu items

I was administering a site, http://occupytacoma.org/ which was also ver 3.6.1, using the Atahualpa theme. I am not involved in maintaining Occupy Tacoma’s site any more. However, I’m setting up a site for Tent City Tacoma (TCT), http://tentcitytacoma.net/, also ver 3.6.1, also using the Atahualpa theme.

On the Occupy Tacoma (OT) site, the only posts that show up on the front page were those in the “blog” category. Other posts show up under menu tabs named for different categories. For example, meeting minutes showed up under another dedicated tab.

I am unable to figure out how to replicate this on the TCT site. Can someone give me a suggestion on how to get posts under the “home” category to show up on the front page but those under the “minutes of meetings” category to show up only under the “minutes of meetings” menu tabs? It’s probably something really obvious, but I can’t figure it out after spending hours searching for the answer. I’m overwhelmed by too many details.

Regards,

Alan
