In thinking about when to hold our Winter fundraiser and Spring Conference:
* Together Boston music festival will be May 14-21st, 2017.
* [https://www.studentcity.com/plan-a-trip/overview/when-my-spring-break College spring breaks are usually in mid March]
* [https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=Academic+Calendar+of+boston+colleges+2017 College exams are in early/mid May]
* Many public schools have April 14 to the 21st off, so 14th to the 23rd is a vacation time for enough people.
 
Which leaves March 26-27, April 8-9 and April 29-30.
 
Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day is March 27th. Palm Sunday is April 9th. I don't see any other holidays those weekends: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/2017
 
Suggest March 26, April 8, 29th or 30th.  We could do another survey to pick the final date.
