20060320: Green Lantern Meeting Notes: The Idea Session

Hey there folks,

Here are the notes for the March meeting of Green Lantern.

Attendance:

Everyone who was expected to show, did show. The only active member who was not in attendance was Heather (she was in Mexico). We had Noah visiting for his second session. He has indicated interest in joining the group so we will be voting on his membership status at next meeting. We had a quorum.

Financial Condition:

- The group's portfolio was worth 22,273 at the time of the meeting
- The group held 4,444 in cash at the time of the meeting (and prior to new funds being added)
