2. Border Awareness Experience Spring Break Trip
The decision was make that CHANGE would co-sponsor with Late Night Christian Fellowship the trip to the US-Mexico Border this year. Nicole and Megan are both going and are striving for a joint trip. SALSA has also been asked to participate, but we have not heard from them. We will ask allocations for the plane tickets. Please see previous email or ask Megan if you want to apply. We are still looking for participants. Please let us know if you have objections to this decision.

-Decision to still bring POCLAD two weeks after April 4th has been tabled until more people are at the meeting to make a decision.
