Hello OAC crew! On June 25th the OAC gathered together at Panera Bread on Lake Mead and Tenaya to discuss upcoming events. Lauren, Angelica, Gracie, Ruthie, Michele, Jacob, and a new member Rene, made it out to organize the events. For those of you who could not make it, here is a recap of our discussion:

We all shared something that meant something to us. Jacob talked about an inspirational book called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, Angelica shared a special gift from Costa Rica given to her by her host family, and Gracie read some letters about ending poverty written by her 4th grade students. After show-and-tell, we talked about the calendar and upcoming events:

• JULY 10th = Get together at Springs Preserve @ 6pm. Purely social, no Climate Change rhetoric.
• JULY 19th = Coldplay!!! Will probably have a get together before that to plan but have to cement volunteers.
• JULY 23 rd = Next monthly meeting @ 6:00pm. Jacob is choosing the location and a specific topic he would like to talk about.
• JULY 24th or 25th = Tentative lobby visits, nothing concrete, nothing confirmed but we're hoping to have some visits on those dates.

After that, we all picked a topic from the Climate CHange Q&A Sheet Lauren had brought, read it out loud and went around and discussed it. We also began preliminary planning for the hunger banquet.

Hope to see you all at the next meeting, which will be JULY 23rd.
