President’s Report
– David Tarditi
- New flag
- Dave suggested that the first person coming to
the building should ensure that the new flag is flying. When leaving, that
person should either take it down and put it against the bookshelf, or
emphasize to someone still there to be sure to stow the flag indoors, as
it is a rather vulnerable pluck by the public.
- Urban Promise
o
Dave

Urban Promise
- The Mayor’s Monthly call – Dave reviewed some of
the topics he covered on the call to illustrate the Diversity and Inclusion

results of the Open House. 9 new regular members and 1 guest member have
