Read and discussed minutes from July 28, 2000 meeting.

Discussed Back-To-School Bar-B-Que: overall opinion seems to be that it was a good idea and a great stan, but there
are some things that can and should be improved (ie. hold it earlier than the night before school starts, have program
either before food or in a separate area where it can be heard, work out the flow of trafic so that the booths are botb
accessible and seen).
