Kazka mentioned he still had control of the club’s Orgsync site and wanted to switch control of it to Joe.

Snow showed off the flyers she made for advertising. There was generally positive feedback due to the design and addition of QR codes on each of them. Someone warned her about WCU possibly taking down posters with women with “inappropriate clothing” such as Ivy from Soul Calibur. The poster that caused the discussion included Sona’s somewhat revealing clothing. However, as that was a small part of the flyer, the club thought it won’t cause an issue. Creating posters promoting the mini-LANs were also discussed.
