I'm looking at potential timing for the leadership retreat, specifically the weekend of June 15-17. Two questions. 1. Does that weekend work for you? 2. There are a few ways to work the timing- Friday evening through Saturday evening (with an optional Saturday overnight), or Saturday morning through Saturday evening (with an optional Saturday overnight). Do you have preferences? I was thinking of contacting the Wayne Co church to ask if they would be willing to host us again this year.

That's my $0.02.

OMDUUYAN on facebook has me and Megan Ohls, but I just added Karina and Alyssa figuring--why shouldn't SC members be admins? Admins are the only ones who can make an event for the group and all of you ought to be able to do that... Alyssa--I'm guessing that without Bree's password there's no way to either delete the OMDUYYAN page on MySpace, access it, or anything, huh? Would someone be willing to put spring con up as a comment there?

I'm putting together the agenda for the meeting at spring con today. If you have anything you would like to include, please let me know. Thanks, -Karina From karina at oberlin.net Thu Apr 19 15:06:54 2007 From: karina at oberlin.net (Karina Leppik) Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:06:54 -0400 Subject: [OMD-SC] Preliminary Agenda Message-ID: Hi, folks. Here is a preliminary agenda for next week. I will refine the questions at the end for larger discussion, with the goal of having 2 larger topics with sub-questions. People can split into the group that will start with the topic that they are most interested in, and can move to other topics if they feel they can and/or should. It occurs to me that we should have a facilitator for each smaller group. I will probably be looking for such facilitators later next week. Let me know if you are interested.
