Announcements:

(1)    The church wants to make it clear to us that we are not to use rooms apart from room 9 (our usual room). The church seems concerned about the conduct of its tenants and indicated it would be installing cameras (presumably to monitor incidents of damage). For our part, we're likely fine doing what we've been doing, but we need to avoid using any rooms other than room 9.

Upsets:
