Day of meeting

Are the meetings still on Tuesday I propose a switch to Thursday!

Officers

At today's meeting, 5 people showed up, thanks to the heavy bureaucracy regarding advertising. But on the bright side, that made it real easy to appoint officers and the constitution.

Officers: Myself, Zach Golden, President
Kevin Schaffner, Vice President
Andres Medina, Secretary
Jake Rice, Treasurer

You may wonder why no girls appear on this list. Well, fair proportions don't come into account until you have girls to begin with.

Anyway, I promised a report on our first project. I got off the phone with Mayor Debbie Cook's Long Beach campaign manager, and she said she will arrange something, either sign delivery or voter registration for the weekend. I will pass along updates as I get them.
