Multi-tasked running the laundry and editing the video for the presentation last Sunday.
At 11am I was supposed to join a meeting regarding the AV team’s requests for Heritage Circle grant money, for the next grant cycle. However the meeting was postponed to next week when Rhonda was delayed.
After lunch I joined the monthly FOPAL volunteer zoom meeting. Janette (manager) mentioned my desire to recruit somebody to back me up in case I wanted to take a vacation, and another volunteer in the meeting, Henry Yu, volunteered for that. Later in the day we emailed back and forth and set next Monday to meet.
At 2:30 I went to the Car-Free club meeting. That’s a group composed of people who have (or plan to) give up their cars, to share info on using forms of public transit. The organizer, Maryanne, had wanted to see how to mirror a phone screen on the big TV in the Activity room. Then it turned out she didn’t need to do that after all.
Had an early-ish supper and went into the Auditorium to set up for a lecture. This was some people from East Palo Alto Youth Community Services, a volunteer organization that gets young people from EPA (the relatively poor side of Palo Alto) doing public service. The director, Mora, was very helpful and checked out. She had been here Monday to plan the event, we laid out the stage differently from the usual, with the podium on stage left and chairs for a panel stage right. It all went off pretty smoothly. Sadly, residents are a bit burned out on lectures, there have been so many candidate nights and such, there were only like 25 people in the room. Just the same I had a good time using our three video cameras to get different angles on speakers. Pity there were only 3 people signed in on Zoom to appreciate my work.
