Evening Ambassadors,
The weekly FAmNA meeting just came to a close. In tonight's meeting, we
had some new announcements (including a notice that we will probably
need to fit in new banners in the next fiscal year as the one of the
current set has a broken spring) and covered two new events in 2017,
WiCHacks and BrickHack.
More information is all below in the minutes. Hope to see you all next week!
