You can find the executive meeting minutes from tonight’s meeting here. Keep your eyes open for an email with an administrative council meeting soon.

Also, if you have any t-shirt design ideas for Congress 2010, send them to us before December 1st so we can have a chance to go over each submission, and get them printed before Hamilton.
