'Morning, all,
As I went on about for all too long in my last message, today's meeting was
"unofficial". Note that this distinction is totally irrelevant.
Therefore, here are the minutes, brought to you by your friends at USG's
Secret Beltane Funding Committee (motto: "Beltane Funding? What Beltane
Funding?").
---Minutes for 1/24---
I. BELTANE NEWS
A. Nate is the Chair of the Beltane Planning Committee
1. This Committee is open to all and will meet for the first time on
Sun. Feb. 3 at 8PM in the Rome Commons lobby (a.k.a. South D near the
mailboxes).
2. Nate is maintaining a website
(http://www.geocities.com/podsbeltane/) which will have the latest news on
Beltane: locations, events, directions, last year's pictures, etc.
B. 2002 Sites
1. Nate has been talking with people to find a site. They include:
a. Our own Jon Prue who has offered a place in Scotland, CT.

Northhampton, MA.
i. Early reports indicate that neighbors are no problem and
there is an outhouse.

A. Full Moon this Monday
1. There has been some discussion of a possible get-together on

This will probably be a fairly last-minute planned event.
