 11/12/20 At the group meeting, we discussed admitting Sylvia, from the #1 spot on the waiting list, and Amy somebody or other.  Susan, Tony and Kenn were in favor of Amy so that was fine with Neville and Denis.  Sylvia's admission is a done deal already but we are not sure if she is going to start with the group or not; she didn't attend tonight but that might have been due to Zoom troubles. It's okay to revisit the number of members and the closed/open status of the group. No final decisions tonight, but it looks like we are leaning toward opening up and going to 8 members.
