[Cynnabar] BOC Meeting Minutes 8-24-2015

Wed Aug 26 01:04:18 UTC 2015

We already have a Mass Meeting booked.

Thursday, September 24th, 6:30 - 9 pm, in the Anderson Rooms in the Union
(same place as fighter practice will be in October).  Set up as a Classroom
with 2 for 40, which I think means there are twenty tables and forty chairs.

For those who have access to the room reservation documents (I'm not
sending them out Barony-wide, as they involve our shortcodes), it's part of
the Fall 2015 Fight Practice reservation, because it's the same building in
the same semester.
