When: 1pm on Monday, June 19, 2023, at Kay’s home

Who: Kay and Karl and Sandra (and Lady, Kay’s sweet German Shepherd)
Notes:
– As a new committee, we defined our role (from an Oxford Dictionary definition) as follows:
  • Lists and decides on the priorities or order of business of an organization and manages the general course of its operations.
  • Provides support, guidance and oversight of progress. 
  • Members of this committee do not usually work on the project themselves. Generally, the Project Manager, and other members of the Project Team, actually do the work implementing the project.

* Sandra agreed to take over FaceBook and Website updates.
