practice is the key. you will probably mess up the first few times--hopefully the meetings aren't that important.
DEFINITELY make sure there is an agenda for the meeting. Even if people get off topic, you can generally rearrange the chronological order of the minutes into the nice agenda format. Come up with initials for all the people at the meeting, even if you don't know their names (blue hat, bh, something like that). if you can type your minutes on a laptop or pda, you're in much better shape as well. also, don't be afraid to ask people to repeat what was said or summarize what was said if you don't get something or you daydream for a sec.
