    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Watched Thriller and tried to re-arrange the lyrics that had been cut out, though perhaps this is too lengthy of a piece to really work effectively. Gave out candy, Zadok ate too much candy corn.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We are beginning talks with Ellen to begin coming in as a facilitator. The class is going okay, but for me there is some concern that folks aren’t super engaging with the topic, or at the very least it’s hard to distinguish if they are.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was rainy, so we couldn’t go to the park. Did a fruit basket activity that actually worked out okay, with the vast majority of folks participating. Kendra gave some pretty critical feedback, some of which we will definitely implement in the future.
