<br>
Deepest thanks to Debra and Jim for chairing the past two GSC meetings. I am still swamped, but my next book deadline isn’t until Sept. 16, so although I am cranking, I am not down to the wire on it. And note: I will be on a genuine vacation—out of town and even out of the country--from Aug. 20-25. <br>
<br>
Even though there will be no Sunday service in the FUUSM sanctuary on Aug. 18, we will still have a GSC meeting in the RE building, aiming to start at 12:30 p.m. Mike and Adeline will be absent, so I’ll be running the Zoom. Any volunteers to take notes?<br>
<br>
Thanks to those who voted by email to approve the minutes of the June meeting. There were no “nay” votes, so I’m considering them approved. <br>
<br>
Here’s what I know we need to discuss at our meeting. Please let me know of new business or anything I’ve omitted by Saturday at 5 p.m.<br>
<br>
1. Approval of minutes of the July 21 meeting.<br>
<br>
2 Solar charging bench<br>
a. Would love to have a report from Annie and/or Rebecca at this meeting. <br>
b. Volunteers for an events calendar for October, to post on August 31? (Please remind me that I found a helpful events calendar in the #VisitMarietta magazine. It is on my desk in the FUUSM office.)<br>
<br>
3. George Banziger’s worthy projects<br>
a. Save Ohio Parks<br>
b. CCL, including addressing and stamping “please vote” postcards targeted to green-leaning voters.<br>
c. ReImagine Appalachia<br>
d. Devola Pollinator Project<br>
<br>
4. Pollinator Habitat Report from Rebecca<br>
<br>
5. The big one: Planning the Climate Justice Revival, on Sept. 28-29. <br>
a. Adeline emailed important questions to those who expressed interest in helping with the events. Let’s discuss. <br>
b. Dawn moves that the GSC spend up to $100 to provide a light lunch on Day 1 of the event. <br>
<br>
6. FaCT Ohio Update<br>
<br>
7. Other local org updates, especially MOVCA. <br>
<br>
What have I forgotten? <br>
<br>
Hope to see all of you, live or via Zoom, at 12:30 on Sunday. (But if the planetarium show runs long, those of us who attend might be a bit late. ) <br>
