<p>Dawn; Well done! I was away and did not see that there was a
meeting online this afternoon. I am a terrible co-chair and I own
that completely. <br>
</p>
<p>I don't see what I can do to help except to say that one thing we
probably need to do is to plan that everyone that might want to
join in with the forum will not be able to due to lack of
broadband or technology skills. If we can scale everything down
to something manageable then it can be recorded (possible easily
with Zoom or Facbook) and anyone can listen to what's been said
(we could even make copies for a DVD or after things settle back
down we could have a wine evening and invite people to join us to
"hear" what went on and ask them to add to the list of ideas/goals
we will create. I think making everything super simple and only
lasting 40 minutes perhaps on April 5th, and the on April 6th
afternoon (people already have that time scheduled perhaps) we
could create a good basic list of possibilities. This is very far
from the original plan but it creates a substantial amount of info
to build on. Annie<br>

know this much about the Sustainable Marietta

discussion will not be held in person on
Saturday. There will be no Sunday afternoon
discussion in person. </font></div>

planning committee is already looking for
virtual alternatives: A Zoom meeting, or a

officials we trust. </font></div>

separate mailing list (just a reply-all list) of
those who have been involved in the
sustainability forum planning subcommittee so as
not to bother every single GSC member with email
they don’t want. If you would like to be added

thrilled to have your ideas and input, and I’d
be glad to add you to that list!! <<</font></div>
