The minutes for the meeting can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1KLBWx7xCgUqMy7aul8JM8OEbG1oSx7SAth… The only reminder I have this week is to get excited for *Disney Karaoke Night!* It is next week, Friday, October 22nd at Klaus 1116W from 5:00-8:00pm. Everyone is invited to sing and to bring any potluck food they wish. It would also be really helpful if everyone could RSVP to the Facebook event (under the Women@cc group) so we can get a grasp of how much food we need to get. Other than that, have a great fall break! I look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting. Sincerely, Linda
