After discussion, the group decided unanimously to adopt the changes to format outlined in last week’s post, with the amendment that an additional point be added to acknowledge those who are recommitting.
Regarding the question of using group funds to purchase a laptop for the group (to continue to allow our hybrid meetings), some members wanted to ensure that our ability to pay rent would not be impeded (to which we replied that the group still has a $150 prudent reserve). Additionally, some members wanted to have a separate basket future to allow members to donate more than usual.
John A. offered to check with Bill M. to get an estimate of what a used laptop would cause, so that we could have a second and final vote once some of the details had been solidified.
