• Wellness Letter - Motion was approved to send letter to NRAO.
• Exercise committee
  • Mike Garrigan took over the repair and maintenance of the equipment. He has documentation and would like a locker for maintenace logs and tools. It was mentioned that Sue Ann Heatherly might have some lockers we could have, or we could ask Christine about getting some throught the old fovernment furniture/equipment warehousing mechanism.

This money can go towards the purchase of locker, ropes and other items.
