  - Maiden has postponed East Coast fundraising tour
- Fundraising
  - Acknowledged we need a process for incoming PayPal donations. Colin said
    he would send out a protocol to acknowledge these
  - We discussed the need to consider whether events this summer are affected
    by the pandemic
  - Jessica pointed out that donations may still be good right now.
  - *People want a way to support local business, to restart once this is over*
  - If OHP cancels, committee felt we'd have to cancel or postpone
  - Pat suggested waiting till closer to the event to make a financial ask of
    potential sponsors. Tax season is hard for business to scrounge up
    advertising dollars
  - Bobby pointed out that we still need the money in the bank to be
    responsibly planning for the activities
- Advertising
- Trolley Reservation
  - Dropped call before we got here
