We discussed several topics including SAC mailboxes, T-shirts (we are getting closer, but waiting for one more design from one of our artists), and are coming up with some good ideas for fundraisers including a disc golf tournament and a concert in the rock amphitheater in Prentis Park. The tournament may involve a raffle and possibly some concessions.
Wendy is now officially in charge of the geology funds, so Jake no longer has to order pizza =)
