Sproo-Doo: The contract for the new venue has been finalized, and the quotes for the awards have been received. Bri has taken inventory of what awards are needed and will be placing the orders soon.

It was agreed that this is a good problem to have!

Airbrush seminar: The airbrush seminar is set to go at 2:00 on Saturday, May 10 after the CASM meeting. Instructors will include Ken, Rick, and Brent.
Parent/Child Work Day: This event is set for June 14, following the June meeting.
