[Edited to put outings and meetings all in one table]

We have had over 10 families reply with current interest in the program - 5 made it to the meeting.  Thank you!  Following is what we came up with -

Meetings - 

• We decided to stick with Friday evening meetings - see dates below - most are on the first Friday of the month
• Note - if you are hosting, you are free to pick a different day 
• We will be following up with Chris Miller to see if Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox will still be available as a venue 
• Note - if you are hosting, you are welcome to pick your own venue - your home, church, or location related to activity you want to do
• We will make a rotation for hosting shortly - feel free to volunteer for a date

Outings -

• Based on input via the Google form, e-mail, and discussion, we came up with the following slate of outings.  
• I took a stab at proposing some dates.  
• Some of these outings will need hosts and some planning.
• Some of the outing ideas that didn't get on the calendar would make good meeting activities...

Johannes Kolb Archaeological Site trip 3/12

March 12th is this year's "Public Day" at the Johannes Kolb archaeological site near Darlington. More info about the site can be found here : http://38da75.com/  The dig has artifacts from the recent past back to as far as 12,000 years ago. There will be several demonstrators there and the kids get a chance to sift some dirt. We took our tribe there several years ago and it was great!  

These are from a past trip one of our tribes took :link
