• Committee updates/Matt: board and committe members not noted on website. RJ will do that. Matt ran an article in the newsletter with contact email to Jim soliciting interest from any member interested in being on a committee. Need someone to take over Gonnerman’s work on the social committee. Matt will try to find the Google doc they’ve been using/reach out to Mike G. for help to find/understand their system. 
• Future social events planning/all: Would be nice to kick in-person gathering with a celebration, perhaps outdoor event at Storrs’ Pond. Storr’s Pond summer picnic (last picnic, August 8, 2019) so consider Thursday, August 5 or 12, 2021.  Fall banquet, etc.
• Members interested in 5-6 day/week training group/ Tim: Per Andrew Erickson (sp). There was/is a group who want to up the level of their training; it would be part of our mission to support them. Opportunity for more coaching and structure, while not labeling it ‘elite’. 

Next meeting: Monday, June 14th, 6pm. We’ll send out a Doodle poll the week before to determine who wants/prefers in-person, Zoom or hybrid.
