New Business: Issues concerning returning to in-person meetings were discussed. Most members are not comfortable with returning to in person meetings Mid-July if that becomes an option. We may need to pay for the room to retain our slot even if we don’t use it, members were in favor of doing that to retain our slot. Also, the community center may require we move to an earlier time slot of 6 – 8 pm. The topic was tabled for future discussion as more information becomes available.
