Saturday Event
Discussion from earlier continued. Fletch suggested a pub crawl to pubs that we do not normally frequent. It was suggested that the event could be informal (no budget); could go out for dinner as a group. We could make money if we advertise a pub crawl and have non-Aggies buy tickets; perhaps another year when we are not so broke. Debra moved that Fletch be nominated as director and that he determines if there is interest or not. Travis seconded. Vote of confidence. Carried. Issue is tabled until next meeting.
