PS: Sorry, that version of the agenda still said "Advent and MIT Guild Meeting".  Ignore that.

Hi all,

One or two people have suggested that having a combined Advent Guild/MIT Guild meeting probably doesn't make a lot of sense this year.  While I haven't heard from the MIT Guild officers, I'm inclined to agree: so unless I hear otherwise, tomorrow's meeting will JUST deal with Advent Guild stuff (insofar as the two can be separated.)  I've accordingly attached a revised (and shorter!) draft agenda.

Mira Whiting has volunteered to set up the Zoom.  Thanks, Mira!

See you all tomorrow.

Hi all,
A heads-up/reminder that since the Church of the Advent is having an Ash Wednesday service at our usual practice time on 2/22, we're going to hold our much-delayed Guild Meeting instead, over Zoom.  (If somebody with a better Zoom account than I have could set up the meeting, that would be great; otherwise I can do it.)  If you are on this list and currently live in or vaguely near Boston, you are encouraged to attend! 
My thought is that since some people may need to sign on late, we should start the Zoom at 7:00, but have the first 30 mins. be chatting (+ possibly ringing on RingingRoom), and then start the actual business meeting at 7:30ish.  Does that sound reasonable to people?
I've attached the minutes of what I think is our previous meeting, plus a (draft) agenda for the meeting.  If anyone has anything they'd like to add, or thinks we should do things in a different order, LMK--again, the agenda set in stone. 
Also, officers: please draw up (or figure out what you're going to say in) your reports.  If you can't make it to the meeting, please send me/Austin/Kat/somebody a copy, so that somebody can submit it in your absence.

ONE OTHER THING:
We currently have only four people signed up to ring on Sunday; at least one won't be able to make it to Advent service ringing at 10:15.  So if there's any chance you could make it to service ringing at one or both churches - even if you can only ring rounds at this point - we would really really appreciate it if you could sign up!
