Wanted to get done: Build as much of the shoes as possible
What we got done: Finished cutting and putting together the styrofoam. The shoes are done except for the wood in the middle and the flaps on the bottom.

Members at the meeting: Jack C, Danielle, Lindsey, Jack K

Meeting #7: Tuesday 5/19, 3pm-530pm, Lindsey's house
Members at the meeting: Jack C, Jack K, Lindsey, Alex, Danielle
Wanted to get done: Practice
What we got done: Duct taped fins because the glue wasn't drying, did quick reinforcements, and we all practiced. Most likely Alex, Jack K, and Danielle will be our runners on the real day. Also, Danielle fell so Jack C is not alone in the club.
What we want to get done next time: Practice more, and possibly add to the shoes to make them go faster
