EME 154 Start: 5:00 pm
discussion about transitioning leadership roles to younger members, and ideas about getting new membership/ retatining. try to get out to the river more often to test- but might be more exciting (a reason for people to join) we should go out on the mall to advertise each time we go (that day or the day before). Also do more projects (building things is fun!).
