Since the meeting, I have found out that the decals/stickers and patches can only be ordered in quantities for 50 and good quality masks can only be ordered in quantities of 100+. Officers have decided against these options for now.
Winter meeting plans during COVID – ideas:
Zoom for inclimate weather
Fun snow days
Heaters/firepit availability?
Winter camp in flux
Girls can run trot poles and jumps, discuss why they are set at certain distances
