STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING INSTEAD

The valiant crew agreed to come unless it was actually raining. Well it did. So we converted to an impromptu meeting (UUBG-062 Minutes: 2008-01-05 Steering Committee).

A handful of folks gathered a week later and finished the prime task: Fix Bricks @ Main Steps. The original plan and signups are kept here for historical purposes:
