<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>We didn't feel forced into the Nursery; we just wanted
to use the hour-window of time to its fullest. That setting was fine for
our meeting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I think we made good strides forward.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>There is an exhilarating pace of change and an
exhausting pace of change. I'm thinking we are into the exhausting range;
I'm taking a LOT of naps . . .</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif">It looks like you had
a very good response to your meeting yesterday, including a number of Zoom
participants. I hope you did not feel forced into the nursery to start your
meeting. We were intending to vacate the tables in Fellowship Hall and went past
the 11am time frame when we realized that you were setting up in the nursery.
Hope your meeting went well; the corona virus is forcing us to be flexible in
ways that we had not envisioned....maybe that's a good thing?<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif">Thanks,</DIV>
