[Cynnabar] meeting minutes 5/17/10

Tue May 18 23:22:33 EDT 2010

Re; Ypsi Heritage Festival, Arin and I would be willing to camp  
overnight and make sure things are safe, but it would be nice to see  
a couple more to help out.

Re: the thrones, $275 each sounds like a very good deal for well made  
furniture of solid hardwood.
