Conclave Report
David: Mike Repeta resigned as Section 96 chair. AX nominated
Richard Donovan, (Sparky) who won. At the 94/96 meeting, the
chapter at the University of Vermont announced that it could
not hold the next conclave. We made a motion to allow the
section chair to accept a conclave bid made in the summer. The
understanding is that if we want it, it's ours. No one else will do
it. The Spring Conclave will be at Maine Maritime Academy.
There was a yummy banquet, and that's all.
Alexis: There will be a CPW July 25th at Orono.
Sparky: Another one is at RPI.
David: The Section 96 picnic at on June 28th at Douglas Park. (Lo-
cated at the intersection of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island.)
Announcements:

Cathy: The silkscreening class has been postponed to a later date.
Sparky: I will try to find a permanent sectional representative for you.
Tell me or your officers what you are looking for so you don't
get a loser.
Ari: SFF is May 3rd. The Theme: "Starlight Express." Please offer
music, unless you want to hear "Transformers" music all night.
Charley: Four people are interested in CPR. The class would be after
finals.
Ari: If you do something weird with drop poster sales, be sure to write
it down and put your name near it.
David: Make sure that brushes come back clean.
PFTGOTO:

18 work.1
