Could we do a restaurant perhaps next month?
Certainly not opposed to a restaurant if we found the right place (that would allow for proper communication in a good location).
To give a little more background on our decision here I'll add that in November and December we have the business of officer nominations (November) and elections (December) for our 2022 board. Our goal has been to find the most inclusive way to conduct these next two meetings.
I'm optimistic that we're going to see some faces we haven't seen lately by providing a different meeting altogether on zoom in contrast to the in person outdoor meetings. I decided awhile back not to split meetings between zoom and in person (long story short it's hard to do well without great spaces, tech, and more work... it degrades into separate meetings otherwise) but I considered breaking that for November/December if we had the Stevinson space where we could put in the extra effort and which would have been the ideal from an inclusive and traditional standpoint. The Stevinson space was not approved for November and we're looking at December possibilities with them now.
I'm looking forward to the Zoom meeting this week and expect it will be a great time if a bit different from the 'roony meets.
Thanks all!
