Old Business – No Old Business

New Business:

               Maidens Report -  We have only unofficial counts, but around the low 300s participants, the event broke even or possibly made a little money.  Lack of participants blamed on weather.  Lunch, organized by Genevieve, made money.

               Lady Day Moot- Sunday March 3^rd at the Stock Pavilion (1402 W. Pennsylvania Ave. Urbana, Illinois 61801) Noon to 5 pm.  Potluck where officers usually bring entrees.  Since the classroom chairs are tight, we recommend bringing camp chairs if you can.  We will be discussing options for Maidens 2020 beginning around 4 pm.

               Midsummer Moot – Sunday June 2^nd.  We are hoping to get Peterson Park in Mattoon, if someone from Mattoon can be the point of contact to get the keys and open the building.
