New Business:

1. March meeting will be Mar 6.
2. Congrats to Sarah Hanley, Chris Emminger, and Ryan Bernardi, our latest attendees to become members.
3. Tickets for the Spirit of Toronto go on sale April 4^th.
4. There is a new process for determining the meeting date for the meeting that’s 2 months away.  You have a week to email the club with any Sunday dates you can’t make.  For example, after our March meeting, you have a week to email me with any Sundays you can’t make in May for that month’s meeting.  A conflict between a member and an attendee will go in favor of the member.  A conflict among members will go to whoever has been a member longer.

Until we meet in March,

Slainte!
