Discussed conflict in AV contract and left solution to Mike

Decided to announce but not schedule tour of POW wives exhibit at Pioneer Museum

Confirmed that bus fee will be $8 per person

Decided to add "Class fee" to registration to cover AV, souvenir and other expenses. Probably $30 per primary registrant.

After lengthy discussion decided to leave reunion souvenir selection to merchandise committee with the following guidance:
Souvenir for primary registrant only
Price ceiling of $30
Must include class crest and some notation of "50th reunion"
Preference for four coasters in dark wood case or rack.

Mike will e-mail final registration page copy to committee as soon as he has required input from Academy and AOG. Rather than meet we will review that copy by e-mail.

Next Meeting to be scheduled after we have some indication of attendance - probably no sooner than July.
