2. Other
Member Fitzpatrick noted that he liked it when speakers attended the
meetings to talk about various topics. Ms. Lawrence said that she plans to
schedule speakers for future meetings and that the only reason she has not
done so yet is because the last few meetings have not been well attended,
specifically referring to December when only four members showed up. She
added that with the current recruitment of members and number of guests
attending the meetings, she is confident at this point that a speaker would
have a group to present to. Upon discussion as to what sort of topics
members would like to hear about, some topics included arts and culture,
gardening, and other items on a local level.
Upon suggestion by Member Huang, it was decided that the Committee
would host another Youth/Senior Technology Event at the Joslyn Center in
May. Ms. Lawrence noted that she would make arrangements and bring
potential dates back to the April meeting.
X. ADJOURNMENT
Upon consensus of the Committee, Chair Kim adjourned the meeting at 6:25 p.m.
