The minutes were approved as corrected.

Jaye stated for the record:

"During the March 2 board meeting I requested that members of the board receive a copy of the letter from the Chicago jugglers group requesting the refund for approximately fifty members. I also asked that said document be attached to the minutes concerning membership refund policy. At that time there was no objection by the chair or any board members. To date I have not received a copy of the aforementioned letter, and the board is now objecting to that attachment."
