> Hey folks,
>
> I just wanted to check-in regarding the meeting we hosted on Saturday. It
> was awesome, turnout was larger than Wendy had anticipated, and folks were
> very thankful for letting them use the space. It was very, very positive
> and rad.
>
> Moving forward, Wendy would like to continue using the space on Saturdays.
> I told her that I needed to confirm this with the collective, but that it
> is fine with me.
>
> Basically, there are two different meetings. The first one is a group
> tentatively called the DTES Collaborative Tenant Action Group, which will
> meet from 12:00 - 1:30 pm (but setup at 11:00). From 2:00 - 4:00, Wendy
> wants to have space for elders to host discussions or film screenings.
> (This second meeting will not necessarily happen every week.)
>
> I think that these are both really exciting things to have happen at the
> Black Lab. Our location is really perfect for it. I told Wendy that if she
> is using the space there will likely be instances where we would need to
> cancel her meeting to host an event and she understands and made that clear
> to her folks as well.
>
> I have already stated where I stand in terms of supporting this and being
> a liaison for the meetings, but I am interested to hear everyone's thoughts
> and concerns and maybe we can put this on the agenda for our Tuesday
> meeting?
>
> Sorry for the long email, and I hope you're having a lovely day!

> ps. Wendy also gave us a 100-cup coffee urn.
