The meeting was run by Amanda, in the absence of Ben T.

Amanda led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Venturing Oath.

Jen gave the Treasurer's report:  People still owe dues.  Currently we have
$370, but if everyone paid their dues we would have $530.  Crew T-shirts are
available for $6.

The subject of Venture Crew hats came up.
Motion:  Proposed by Ben, Seconded by Jen:  Dr. Oliver L. will head up the
hat investigation committee, and report to the crew via email on different
styles, colors, options, and sizes.  The price limit for the hats is $15.

Alison did a review of past activities:
4/6-4/8:  Popieniuck trip:  Went snow shoeing and cross country skiing;
Chris Shaw hit on waitress.
4/14:  Bottle Drive and church cleanup:  "up-bup-bub-dub"-Amanda, in
response to Ben K.'s comments.  Once all the money has come in from the
bottles, it will probably be over $500, which will go into the troop/crew
general account.
4/16:  March with Stow Minutemen-  Marching was great, looked very sharp.
4/21-4/22:  Isaac Davis Camporee:  We helped out with parking and manned the
first aid station.  Mr. O. brought two pink flamingoes which appeared
on-stage Saturday night and were found Sunday morning inside the toilets.  We
marched Sunday morning the seven miles of the Isaac Davis trail, all fell
asleep in a field, except Mrs. T., the oldest member of our
contingent, .and then came back and broke camp in driving wind.  Ben
took a nap when he got home.
5/4-5/6:  Cape Cod biking trip.  Permission Slips due by 4/23
6/9:  Car wash:  The same day as Cub Family Weekends and the MHS graduation.
First four weekend in June: Cub Family Weekends at Resolute.  Crew members
are encouraged to serve on staff.
Venture Crew summer camp:  Second week of August.  The camp is going to be a
great event, all members are encouraged to attend.

Oliver and others mentioned that we would like more trips of a high
adventure nature.  Mrs. T. said this is fine, we just need to fine
drivers, adults, and organize these trips.
