Discussed playing music instead of having a movie while we're eating dinner at the lock-in.
Also discussed the schedule for the lock-in and possibly doing another game with marshmallows & frosting (marshmallow monsters!)
Got rid of the phone tree. Just remember to check your emails, the calendars in your binders, or here, or the library calendar.
Talked about who might be willing to help either decorate and/or ride on the library float in the Pony Express Days parade.
We are going to try doing one teen activity each month for the community. They will start in April and will be held on the 1st Friday of each month. April's activity will be about photography and we're going to try to get a local photographer to come and talk to us about techniques and stuff. Don't miss it!
We are going to have a TAB-only Rock Band tournament on April 20th from 5pm - 10pm. We'll have our meeting that night as well, so don't worry about coming the night before. This will be pot-luck so bring your favorite dish!
We also implemented 2 new rules for our meetings:
1 - If you throw gummy bears, you have to pick it up and eat it.
2 - If you don't bring your binder, you don't get snacks. You get one grace meeting if you accidentally forget it, but after that, no snacks! So find your binders!
