      • The committee discussed how the program might be adapted if there were no sponsors and agreed if all possible that it should be a hands-on program. Emma and Ann will check with their respective institutions on donating supplies for the workshop.
      • The Google document has a list of supplies that are needed.
      • Presenters for the workshop need to double-check their names and titles.
      • Pre-registration will be available to committee member between March 1-11th
    • Preservation Open House—status update:
      • Thanks to Bonnie for arranging the site visits.  Two Springfield locations have been chosen-- Illinois State Military Museum & Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum.  Bonnie proposed two possible dates:  Monday, June 3, Friday, June 7.  The Military Museum prefers June 7th but can accommodate either dates.  The consensus with the group was to hold the open house on June 7th.
      • CARLI can send the save the date notice at any point.  The rough timeline outlined would allow for registration to open mid- to late April.  Committee members will need to register for the workshop and open house so that lunches and seating plans can be accurately done.
