501(c)3 Registration - no meeting held in March; will try to revive in the next month
OutlantaCon 2020 - con was canceled; the hotel never charged the card, so no refund is needed; matter closed
Merchandise - Pending; logo placement is still an issue
20th Anniversary Party - Rush Center website says they are not accepting reservations for the rest of the year; if we go forward with the even this year, we will need another venue; possibly hold it outdoors? weather is an issue then; we could try rec centers, school gyms, restaurants, etc; we may need to postpone it until next year, our 21st!
Game Library - what games are essential? send ideas to Robert A; stickers mocked up by Christian and Robert A are discussed; can be used to mark as ours, but also to say who donated and even include a tracking number; how can we track what games are being played? move them to a “played” table? a “check out” card?
Spring Picnic - cancelled; matter closed
COVID-19 - April 30th is end of Shelter in Place order in GA, and May Game Night would be a few days later; best to postpone for at least a month; can we hold a virtual game night? ideas include tabletop simulator, Jackbox, charades on Zoom, Just One with pen and paper

OutWorlders Support - should we be doing something to help those having a hard time? we agree we aren’t qualified to do much; we can try to do more virtual events

No discussion
