I spent some time over the weekend trying to get this knee mounted on the existing cuisses and have come to the conclusion that it just isn't going to happen. There is too much damage to the existing plastic legs. Also, they were cut out in such a way that I don't see them being terribly compatible with any metal knee cops out there. I believe that I can, without requesting any new funds, manage to get new legs built that will be more protective, more size adjustable, and compatible with Bokalo knee joints. <b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Tithing to the Kingdom – </b>(meeting minutes reminder/placeholder only)<b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>The previously group-approved amount of $300 to their Highness’s travel fund will be presented at Crown in Kentucky in May.
