Outcomes & Issues

• See Action items for full list of items to be done
• Suggested that we make a facebook group to spread news like google clip faster.
• T-shirts: We decided we like the theme: we floc together. Erica has a few versions of the same theme that we'll let the team vote on. And we have a couple options for printing/purchasing them.
• Erica followed through on Tamar's email for JRCPF Programs, but hasn't heard back yet. ("JRCPA is a campus community partnership award program which may be hosted within an academic institution, a state or nationwide.")
• Had a skype chat with Tamar and got some leads on fundraising opportunities. Best Idea:
