Furniture Plan Check In
Hi everyone: I'm checking in because I've received feedback about the furniture plan we developed at the last meeting. The feedback is that some folks are interested in having fewer picnic tables than are currently in the plan and more benches or Adirondack chairs.
Please take this 2 question survey to help determine how to move forward relative to this feedback.

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up Greg! I saw your email. Do we have enough votes yet to move forward one way or another? I'm easy either way but it would be great to have the furniture in place soonish so we can use it for the various reopening events!
Gorges Soft opening & Rainbow painting
Hi all,
If you'd like to come to our soft opening, we're seating tables from 5-7:30 Thursday & Friday, Apri 3rd and 4th. We're probably going to do a lunch and a dinner on Saturday. Let me know if you're interested or email travis@gorgesbeer.com
Also, with the asphalt scheduled for 4/2-3, I think a good paint day would be Monday 4/7. I believe that's meeting day. But if anyone wants to volunteer for painting let me know!

Hi Travis! Sadly I'm not going to be in town next weekend (away Friday through Mon eve), but very happy to do touchup painting or any other work needed to get the street in good shape.
Overview of budget and furniture choices
We had a ton of fun at our planning event last night!
By a happy error, we overestimated the cost of planter installation. Please find below an estimate of the options we selected--please feel free to correct any errors you find! If these calculations are correct, we'll have an extra $1812.
I think another 6x6 picnic table would be great, and we'd still have plenty more to pick out.

It looks like we should have enough to do more non-table seating as well as signage, without removing or changing the plans we developed at our meeting.
If we did 3 more Adirondacks and left $400 for signage, we'd have $362 left for potentially something else, or we could get 4 Adirondacks and signage and max out the budget. Thoughts?

Looking forward to it Greg! The sun is shining and I'm so excited to see how much life and fun we can bring to Rainbow Road this year 😍. One thing we might want to do at this meeting too could be to agree on a process for decision-making going forwards that balances inclusivity and timeliness? I hear loud and clear that you'd like us to take responsibility for managing this group ourselves so you don't have to be the instigator and decision-maker.
Does anyone have any ideas about how we could structure the organization and decision-making of the Friends group?
So far it seems to me like the things we'll be doing fall into 2 main categories Maintenance (incl painting, plant watering, trash pickup, furniture repair) & Events (administering the calendar, managing bookings and assisting at events themselves), but perhaps there are other elements I'm missing?
