Dawn,
Thanks for the attention to the Deep Rock Disposal virtual public meeting.
In addition, either Dave B or I will have an update about CCL.
I can host the meeting through my Zoom account if you wish.

Services are shorter than when they’re in person, so maybe we could hold GSC at 12:15 or even noon. I’ll add that discussion to the meeting agenda, below. Please let me know by Friday at 7 p.m. what else we need to discuss.

> I encourage you strongly to go there and read all about it, and RSVP to attend. The more I read that page, the more it sounds to me like the meeting is really only from 6 to 6:30. Let me know what you think? The first hour seems to be accepting questions via email. It says, "At 6:00 p.m., the audio portion of the meeting will begin.” What the heck. Let me know if your reading of that information is the same oas mine.

> 6. Other stuff I’ve forgotten. Again, please let me know what that is by 7 p.m. Friday.

> > Please report your energy use data for a period that ends before COVID-19 began, as it is likely your congregation energy use patterns were/are affected by the pandemic.
