Gifford can talk to Ben about making one
has ATC logo been sent out?

nothing aside from the announcements made at Detour staff meeting
cards, display were made for Marscon
leave leftover cards at Waterbury; Anton will take some to other cons
ATC info cards for room parties [Damarra]
present batch included a white border for instant print, but it should be printed edge-to-edge if the cost is reasonable
future printings should cost about $25 less
financials [Kim]
spent about $12K out of Detour's approved $188K budget
$7,170 left in LEG fund after helping out Carrie Savage and before accounting for Richard Townsend
Carrie will announce her muscular dystrophic condition using LEG fund as context
