Revisit from Last Meeting
Show & Tell
- House has decided against hosting additional indoor events including Show & Tell
- Show & Tell has been paused for several reasons; stewards open to finding a new location in the neighborhood to host
- Revisit during March organizing meeting unless a steward emerges with passion
- High Low as potential venue
Jen will take a break from the School
- Cannot steward for at least January
- Psychologically holding the needs/rules for the house, whereas the loft had room for failure because it had less impact on residents
Taylor will be unavailable for TND indefinitely
Trinity offering movement space (The Ground Floor) in NE

SNOOZED: Fika, Show & Tell, Workshops, Donut Saturdays
Co-working: new ideas, new spaces
TND Discussion
- Early arrivals / late departures
- The organizing and hosting of TND involves unseen labor and logistics that community seems less available to do
- Blow it up by asking other people to host TND temporarily?
- Stagnation of same community members attending and lower attendance in general—are new people actually meeting each other so that TND is doing what it intends to foster?
- Fresh energy, rebrand? 3 month break?
- Organizing meeting with TND had the opposite effect of discouraging attendance
- How do we encourage new people offering new school programming?
Decisions & Next Steps
Vote to take 3 month break from all existing scheduled events, with flexibility to not return to the same modus operandi
- Break from programming so that there's bandwidth for re-imagining
Retreat to Move Forward on 28th Feb?
Newsletter to announce the hiatus
- @Jaron Heard ✨ will draft messaging to the Signal, closing all Cal.com signups
- Della, Jenny to draft language of the announcement
