Hi Lakepeeps!

Okay, this is a late post-meeting email...but this way it makes it a closer-to-the-day reminder about our next meeting, so what the heck. BTW, our next meeting is May 12th at 6:30pm at Regeneration Church -- bring something to share.

Thank you Matlena and John for being such wonderful hosts -- we didn't get a lot done in terms of decisions and issues on the groups agenda because we had a low turn out this time...we decided to keep our meetings either at Regen or Woody's because the turn out seems to be stronger when we do that. I'm not sure that Tuesdays are the best day for now -- maybe once the school semesters ends we'll get some of the older members back in the loop. It MAY be time to do a poll about availability again. When are you/aren't you free?

The only updates we have: Rich is going to run our soil tests by a scientist friend (Heather) for us...and our PSO was unable to make it at the last minute because he had a case/arrest he was working on. He said he would make our next meeting.

One thing we did decide was a great idea was to keep the outdoor movies going BECAUSE IT WAS GREAT! Even with the technical difficulties. Steve Ma...do you want to join forces with this now or soon? We want to keep doing it -- we had so much fun with it we almost want to do them more frequently than once a month-- but that is just beginners enthusiasm probably...? We thought a good "time" to tell people would be 1/2 hour after sundown. We talked about using rafts to sit in and watch a movie that had water as a major feature...order pizzas...we need to emphasize that people bring their own chairs...also isn't it a good idea to bring a portable grill and have smores? We are looking at May for our next movie and we are starting a movie list to vote on in advance. I think we might re-vote when we want to add movies and always take the top vote -- that way we can add to the menu when we want to.
