=== President ===
* Met with Leah to transition Vice-President duties
* Went to Woofs to scope out venue and potential use as venue for Game Day. Posted short video in Slack showing space. Room to the side is mostly unused, has dart boards, windows, is quieter than the rest of the bar. Spoke to GM, they would welcome us, will bring as many extra tables and chairs as they have. Food and Drinks ordered at the bar (similar to Guac y Margy’s). Main concern is whether or not they will have enough tables, probably have enough for 30-40 people, but probably not enough for 50-60. Parking is tight, but there is a lot of street parking including median under overpass. No security during the day, make sure to let people know not to leave valuables. Would love to hear everyone’s opinion after February’s game day. Gendered restrooms.
* Need to add Daries games to Game Library - asking for a halt in game donations
