There was no new business.
Members expressed profound gratitude and appreciation for Norm's service.
This is Norm's last AF&F committee meeting as chair. Jaymes is interested in being the new treasurer and finance chair. The AF&F committee is in full support of Jaymes' candidacy, which will be officially voted on at the full board meeting in May.
Discussion was held around a house for sale near Kansas Ave that Haynes may be interested in purchasing. The committee recommends moving forward with the home purchase and presenting a proposal to the full board.
