November 12 - Working our way back to the top

 

Way to Rally to the top! 

Thanks for all of your ideas, honesty, and great vibes during our work and free times yesterday. I'm always thankful to work with you and days like yesterday remind me of your combined wisdom and strength. This year is hard and our work is exhausting, but I'm confident that together we will emerge stronger and better. 

The Leadership Team, who meets again this Tuesday 3pm (Larson's room) will pick up the work from where we left off on Thursday in the café. All are welcome to attend, 

I'm glad several of you were able to rise to the challenge (double pun intended) & thanks for sharing your experience with us. 

Looks a little different than the last time we were all here.
