[Blacklabcollective] Time Sensitive community org pitch!! please respond :)

[Brendan Plummer]

Hey everyone,

I know my response isn't exactly 'time sensitive,' but I wanted to say that
I am hugely in support of this idea. This is a great opportunity to provide
value in the community and to make inroads with more folks who are active
in the neighborhood. I think the main wrinkles right now are Noisefest and
scheduling around unlocking/locking the space after the meetings. Megan and
I tentatively agreed to take charge of that, but we will have to be in
communication with Wendy to make sure it works smoothly. With Noisefest, I
think we just have to make sure that Wendy is aware of this situation, and
arrangements are made to meet earlier, etc.

I am confident we can sort those things out, and I am stoked that everyone
is supportive of this!
