Under “Additional” #1. The meeting was on 6/21/22.
A suggestion for the surplus party funds – have block parties like we used to and pay volunteer hosts by the number of neighbors in their “block” that they get to sign in at their party. Just like we used to in the summer, but this time with actual money!
