None have been planned. The Friday dinner trip is postponed
to 7:30.
APOcEd (Barbara): We have APOc's. Here I have the APOc dis-
tribution list. Sign up to distribute APOc's. This one is thick
because it has 5 sets of minutes. Is this good? Not every APOc
will have 5 sets of minutes. Comment. Submit!

breakfast. Conclave on March 11, one month from Saturday.

are two service projects: working on the Science Olympiad, and
running a first aid workshop for Boy Scouts. After that, there
is a business meeting, and a banquet. Veggie and kosher food
is available. We have a DJ and band for that evening. Sunday
there is a rededication ceremony. Larry Labell is retiring and
we want to give him a sectional DSK. Do you agree? WPI wll
pay. (The matter was later tabled.)
