Logistical Conflict of Interest

Having logistical team representative for ATC also doing Logistics for cons renting them out, and not communicating to people who are waiting in locker when they gave permissions to be delayed since they are doing it.  Conflict of interest, should be resolved, at a later discussion.

Lots of paper copies today. But for new people they have no idea. This will help keep track of things.

Thank you, board members, previous ones and new ones.

On last day of convention was approached by MH. Was involved in helping set stuff up but never started going into going to double tree. Got Kale/Lauren involved in anime community. Has degenerative muscle disorder. She is being evicted. Legal aide came through to let her stay as long as wants, however her condition is not good. Gave us large portion of her collection for charity auction. Doesn’t have much if any family left. Proposal to help out with any final arrangements. And if Christina is okay setup a corner with her photo in the charity auction (still going to RedCross). This is advance notice, in case if needed when information comes in.
