[Imc] steering group minutes 7/1

[Sarah Kanouse]

Dan from Clam volunteered to give the IMC a small, dorm-sized fridge last week.  With much time spent restocking, it ma be adequate to store sodas, but it would never be large enough to store food for a party or reception.  Mike--could you perhaps track this down and take a look at it
