Those of us who showed up managed to get there reasonably on time.
Had a very interesting conversation with a couple of tables over the crime situation in and around various parts of the city and how the police are not there to protect the individual. I don't know if any converts were made, but a few eyes were opened.
In other news, several folks who did not show up were talked about. None, however, were elected to or appointed to any committees or other posts - but only because we agreed that we lacked a quorum of 2/3 of those present.
stay safe.
