Cart Committee
Terry W-- sometimes we don't have carts for certain locations. Projects are left drying on it, and carts are not available for their proper use. We have 6 carts Handout each cart has been given a location. This is a proposal of where the carts should live.
Nate B thinks this is a bad idea and that the carts should just be treated the same as the tables.
There are many strong feelings about where the trophy case should be placed!
This has been tabled until the next board meeting
