Looking for feedback
- As agreed in our last meeting, we’ll continue holding the coffee hour weekly until the end of September. After that, we can revisit the frequency and decide whether to move to a bi-weekly or monthly schedule.
- The decision is still open for feedback—if you feel the current plan should remain as is or have suggestions for a different approach, please feel free to share your opinion.
Looking for volunteers
- Although coffee hours are open discussions where everyone is equal, we still need someone to host each session. The host will be responsible for managing the Zoom meeting and ensuring everyone can join smoothly. If you’re interested in hosting an upcoming session, please comment below.
