Communication between officers
Issues about running Halloween meet:
Ended up delegating what Crystal said she would do to other people
in the future email the officers if you have questions or need help with anything
communicate, people will help, and we’ll all be happy
Ben thinks it’s more work to delegate than to do it himself, and that people need to do what they say they will, especially since we’re hosting nationals
Ben still has concerns about what happened at nationals last year
Oregon might have a meet in Feb.

Sunday, Jan. 15- MANDATORY nationals meeting/officer bonding
