	There are still a few items that could use additional panelists, so if you see one below that piques your interest it still might not be too late to volunteer. There is a tentative schedule, but we're not quite ready to publish it yet. As always, please direct questions, comments, and offers of assistance to '''programming ~~at minicon45 dot mnstf dot org.~~'''		'''[[M45 Chronological listing of programming items]]'''

	For the Saturday Evening costume workshop, donations would be appreciated. We are looking for things such as: hats, wigs, bits and pieces of old costumes, jewelry, fabrics, yarn, twine and other fibers, ribbons, buttons, paper and cardboard, dowels, and pipe-cleaners.

	In addition to the traditional genres, "young adult fiction" is often considered a genre in and of itself. But there is clearly a lot of (unlabeled) genre fiction with the YA library. Is there something about the nature of YA that makes genre fiction more acceptable/legitimate for this age group?

	We've had a lot of discussion about the social contract -- the rules by which our gaming groups operate, whether unspoken or not. Too often, though, they remain unspoken until someone blows up, or stinks up, the game. How can we go about making sure everyone is on the same page regarding how we game together? Is such a thing even desirable?		We've had a lot of discussion about the social contract -- the rules by which our gaming groups operate, whether unspoken or not.
