436th Meeting

Members at the th meeting

Known only from a photograph. The caption reads “Looking forward to our 436th Meeting”, so the picture itself may have been taken at the meeting before; it was posted to announce this one.

The date is worked out from the mailing list: meeting #429 was held on 9 June 2015, and the club met weekly.

Meeting #434 Tuesday, 14 July 2015

Balance

Word of the day: Prioritize
Members at the th meeting

No agenda survives for this meeting. Everything below was read off the photographs.

The projected slide gives the theme and the word of the day in full:

Word of the day: Prioritize. Decide which are the most important and do them first. We can’t achieve all the goals at once, we need to prioritize the goals.

A whiteboard in the corner of one photograph carries the running order: Cherry, Edward, Seaborn, Yoki, Lilia. All five appear in the club’s mailing list from the same year.

The date comes from the mailing list, where meeting #429 is dated 9 June 2015. The club met weekly, which puts #434 five Tuesdays later.
