[Green] GSC Draft agenda and call for additional agenda items

[Dawn Hewitt]

George, When you send the Zoom link, please include Anne Sparks on the cc. She’ll be joining our meeting via Zoom (unless she decides to come in person).

Annie, Assuming you’ll Zoom in, I’ll give you your promised 10 minutes as close to 1 p.m. as I can manage. You’re welcome to attend and participate in the entire meeting— or just to join us at 1 p.m.  If you decide to come in person, we meet in the front parlor of the white house at 232 Third Street, just to the right of our sanctuary building. 

Everyone: Hope to see you Sunday at 12:30-ish. Thanks for being Green!
