QR codes
if you are having difficulty signing in at meetings, like a login page is popping up when there shouldn't be, let me know at meeting or shoot me an email
I've heard snapchat does work for scanning and also that it doesn't, so if you try scanning in with snapchat and it doesn't work then you may need to download a QR code reader app (they're free)
Attendance
Starting at the next general meeting, excuses will be DUE at 8:30 pm the DAY OF meeting
only excuses that will be accepted for after the day of meeting is if it's an emergency of some kind or something unexpected like you got a flat tire and can't make it to meeting (that doesn't mean "oh, I forgot I have tutoring for this today, i'll just email Jordan tomorrow"). this is because all other excuses are planned things that you know ahead of time. so this is just really to help you help me kind of deal
I'll pass out the Feb. event dates at the next meeting
