April 20, 2006 - Officer elections were held at tonight's meeting; the new officers have been added to the left panel. I will be meeting with the E-board Monday night to propose the carry-over of our extra subsidy from this year to next year; if approved, we will hopefully be able to have 4 field trips next year, instead of 3. If they do not approve, then we will try to use our remaining field trip this year on Saturday, May 6.
