Good suggestions, but my only concern is, with 13-14 topics on the agenda, even if we only devote 15 minutes per topic (and some will clearly take longer than that, i.e., changes to structure of classes), we are talking a meeting that is over three hours long! -- and that isn't counting the time for the potluck meal, either.
It is my hope that we can start having meetings like this on a regular basis, maybe once per quarter or so. Remember, the goals of this meeting are to get volunteers better acquainted with each other and with the Board; to come up with ideas for improving the services ByteWORKS offers; and to improve communications. Don't know ... suggestions, anyone?
