John:

Balance: $5099.19

We appear to have a slight issue in the mail system. Tug is having issues getting the system to accept posts as far as I can yell, it is an oddball postfix interaction.

Issue fixed during meeting.

Scott needs to perform some extra work to the back end that creates the archive, as my logo has not worked yet.

Here are the rooms for the next few meetings: * Thursday, July 5th: Room P210 * Thursday, Aug 2nd: Room P216A

RE: We may not be able to get rooms in the future… Scott: I have not done much yet, going to try the library at Centerpointe tomorrow and see what our options are. I'll also try Loblaws in College Square
