We have posterboard & markers and should be able to bring a bunch on Monday.
For a meeting space, I've reserved:
*Urbana Free Library's Satterthwaite conference room (downstairs) for
7:30-8:45PM Monday April 1st.*
(In case any SDAS people are listening: may we also head into the
Grandpa Wahlfeldt room in the IMC afterward if need be?)
See you on Mon at the Urbana library, 7:30 or so...
