Mission report

Attendees - Marcus Qwertyus, Cfdc49.

• This year's Wiknic was considerably smaller with several regular St. Louis faces becoming inactive/unable to make it. Dwayne (Cfdc49) at his first appearance at a Wikipedia meetup, spoke of writing on the topic of the Crandall family an expressed the desire to contribute more often in the upcoming months. Marcus talked about past and future St. Louis meetups and Wikimania. We headed over to the Zoo and briefly found refuge from the heat in the penguin exhibit.
