About 20 people attended the July 4th picnic and general meeting at Spring Street Park. One item that arose at the meeting was that several women are interested in latihan on Tuesday mornings. Jim has checked with Karen, who rents the house. She will get back to him with the dates that are not yet booked. Going forward she will let renters know that the upstairs latihan hall will be used on Tuesdays (which includes the bathroom outside the former women’s quiet room). If you want to know when the hall is available, please contact Rayma, who will have the dates. Keep an eye on this weekly email to see when it’s available every week. One caveat: women will need to wipe down surfaces in the bathroom before leaving on Tuesdays, so it will be disinfected before the renters use it again.

I hope you are planning to start your July 4th festivities with an in-person Latihan, followed by our first in-person social event in a long time- a picnic and General Meeting at Spring Street Park. The picnic is a potluck, but to keep it simple we would like people to bring cold dishes. That way we will not have to do too much running back and forth to the downstairs kitchen. it will be great to see you all!

The General Meeting agenda is as follows:

Check-in, Helper report, financial report, repairs completed and needed, do we want to create a homier space in the Mens’ hall for meetings, etc., especially for fall/winter?  Will this have an impact on possible future hall rentals?
