The reason for invite only meetings is that it will only be Mrs. Stone there and the things that are going to be worked on have been assigned. There are lots of things to do but we need people on task and not just showing up to hang out. If you think you should be there for those meetings please see the paragraph below.

Invites: if you are on the drive team, Presentation team, or leading scouting consider yourself invited. If you would like to come and have an exact plan of what you are going to be working on than please see myself (Greg) Prior to wed.
