4.353 meeting, fopal

Monday 11/20/2023

First thing, took a walk. Practiced guitar a bit. Then it was time for the monthly Event Coordinator’s meeting, at which we get the next month’s calendar of events. I need to transcribe those into my AV events spreadsheet and schedule an AV meeting. Yawn.

Then down to FOPAL to process a bunch of books. There were 10 boxes waiting, which I knew because Frank had sent an email about the status of FOPAL yesterday, including the info that there were 10 boxes of donations at the computer section. The donor of several of these had evidently been most active in the 90s. As a result I set aside nearly a box of stuff to sell at the Vintage Computer Faire next summer, rather than on my shelves now.

I did 5 boxes (2 hours) and went home. I’ll go back and finish them up tomorrow.

Rhonda’s monthly open meeting at 4. Featured a staff bio: they’ve been doing staff bios under the title “road to Channing House” for a while now. This time it was Yadira Aldana, I’m not sure what her actual title is now; she’s been in different posts over the years. Just a useful admin type. She was born in Mexico and came to California when she was three; first of her family to go to college; now has a master’s in psych and gerontology.
