Katrina updated the group as to the progress of the fund and the possibility of a match from a family to help close out the fund.

The group also talked about their progress in making their "Connection" phone calls.  Mary-Wren shared her experience with crafting a thoughtful email and Jennifer spoke about her conversation she had with a graduate family.  Miriam also shared how she has been able to have some unexpected connections with parents outside of these planned calls.

The group previewed the Community Conversation materials and the proposed draft agenda for those conversations.

Feedback included:

-Make sure we are including time for meaningful connections with people

-Perhaps small groups would be helpful to increase connections

-Can we do something socially-distanced in person?  Maybe in the courtyard?

-Spilt the in-person sessions to cohorts to increase connection between parents whose children are learning together.

-Use the proctors who are alums to make say a few words at the conversations.

-Be overly clear about the safety guidelines

Katrina updated the group on the work of the Alumni Committee and the grant progress.

Alumni Committee is working on some reunion possibilities and increasing the data we have.

Grants have come in from area cultural councils supporting the theater program and we are currently working on a grant to support summer programs.
