Members in attendance were Blaeu Jackson, Arachelle Betts, Darren Flores, my mom, Minerva Garcia, my wife, Patricia Tovar, and Ashton Simmons, who showed up in the last 20-30 minutes.
The garage sale was reviewed as a smashing success, with the possible idea of gifts being given out to contributing members next event, as a sign of gratitude. One counterpoint to this was that the fundraising events are already for group-desired activities, thus already creating a sense of community via common goals.
Additionally, the final sale was made for Cowboy Bebop Boardgame Boogie by group member Darren Flores for $23. Thank you, Darren! This fact has been reflected in the post about the garage sale, which can be found beneath the audio recordings.
The camping and kayaking trip dates were set during the meeting, but have been changed after post-meeting discussion, and are tentatively on August 17th and September 13-16, respectively. The dates will be reviewed again in the future.
A housewarming party for Ashton was revealed, initially on August 20th, but has been changed to August 27th. The Foundation of Righteousness will be canceled that Sunday, as we move there to participate in the festivities and build a sense of community. All members are welcome to attend, and more information about the event can be found here.
During the open discussion section, Darren talked about his future as a coin shop employee, and his aspiration for higher emotional intelligence.
The meeting was recorded in two segments, with some of the meeting missing in between, due to my son, Seth, playing with the recorder.
Thank you everyone who attended!
