The PCD Steering Committee (Meraki) Met on May 23, 2023 on Zoom.

Attending: Lily N (notes), Kari P (vibes), Lori H, Erin P, Rudy G (time), John B (facilitating), Lindy O.

Agenda: 

  • Retreat recap.
  • Planning for the next retreat
  • Where can we dance
  • Volume/loudness
  • Capacity committee update
  • 10th Anniversary
  • Next meeting 

Retreat recap (Lily):  all well with retreat.  No additional feedback. Would go back to Ferry again. 

Next retreat: no to autumn 2023, yes to spring or fall of 2024.  Need to establish committee.  Lily will put out sign up sheet at the greeter table and make an announcement at closing circle to form a retreat committee. 

Where can we dance (Lori):

  • Cannot dance at Waldorf in July; we don’t have dance scheduled for July. Possibly dance at Oddfellows in July? 
  • 317 Main Yarmouth: Alan and Joe are full time and they have summer programs starting. They're going to talk and get back to us.
  • Waynefleet is a no.
  • Portland public schools are a possibility.
  • Erin to call Temple Beth El in Portland about availability. 
  • Lindy suggests a place in Brunswick.
  • We are dancing outside June 25th at Waldorf.

Loudness:  No movement on that.  80 dB still the limit and DJ’s seem to be onboard with holding that limit. 

Capacity committee:  nothing to report. (Ed: John: we could make use of the stage for additional room)

10th anniversary celebration: Lori, John, Kari and Lily on this committee. No details set. Lily suggests the celebration be in early fall to maximize weather niceness.

Next Meraki meetings:

  • June 20th at Kari and Jimmie’s
  • July 18th on Zoom
