Updates & Events/Good of the Order: Presenter: Michael Naughton
John Timpe asked David Crabtree about the limitations of the meeting area for events and if we needed more workers or more meeting areas. David pointed out that the major problem was in the timing of events and that most events take place during the afternoons during peak hours- or periods of time most requested. However, in the future as the student population grows, more event areas will also be scrutinized.
John also asked the reason the ping pong area was being painted. David said that it is to define the court area and is also rubberized for a safer and more efficient playing area.
Michael McGuire asked if there would be a roof over the ping pong area. David said that there would be, however, lighting was the priority. The roof was scheduled for a later date.
Micheal Naughton reminded the members that OP’s concert was Friday, and tickets for the Jaguar’s would be selling on Thursday.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:17 P.M. Respectfully submitted by Victoria Shore
