The introductory question will be; "How long have you lived in Southwest Olympia?"  This ties in to our main agenda item for the evening, SWONA history.  We will then have a discussion about what to do with the Poetry Post.  As it is now, the post is down and the roof is separated from the post.  The ornamental hardware has been salvaged for use on a new post.  We need ideas for a new post, ideas about materials, style, and location.  We have approximately $1500 in the Decatur Pathway Park budget for this so it must ultimately be located somewhere along the path.

The introductory question will be "What is your favorite food or snack?"  Based on our decision about the agenda for the quarterly meeting, I contacted the city of olympia and animal services.  Both will be sending us a speaker -- I highlighted the issue of speeding and right-of-way in our traffic circles (for the city traffic guy) and went over the kinds of questions that arise for people who are bothered by too regular barking dogs with the woman from animal services.  If Suzanne Beauregard, who is the director of animal services comes, we will be in excellent hands.  But she's retiring, so no promises.
 
Traffic guy is coming at 7:20 and animal services rep before then.  I said we would fit them in as they arrived.
 

I've contacted Chloe Lamenzo about childcare.  I put the notice on Next Door as an event, including the agenda items.

Phil will give a brief update on the pathway project as time allows.
