My day was a series of informal but very important meetings. I started at 8:30 am at Coffee O meeting with two other Library Board trustees to get some guidance on my position as Treasurer. That meeting had not really ended when my next meeting started. The woman who was meeting me sat at the next table, so all I had to do was turn around. This meeting was just the two of us that make-up the entirety of a sub-committee of the Immigration Rights Coalition. I am working on a film series on non-violent resistance films, and the other woman is working on an art exhibit of art depicting what is happening on the border with Mexico. It was fortuitous for her that the chair of the Library Board overheard our conversation about her difficulties finding a space for the art show. It turns out the library has just the spot for that. So, after our meeting, we went to the library to check it out. If the artist in charge of this display agrees, the show will be there.
It was after 1 pm when I got home, answered some emails, ate lunch, and left for the last Exploring Public Policy meeting of the year. And before that ended, I left to take Jonah and another teammate, Jean Luc, to Sandwich for the first summer soccer game. Jonah (number 14)just got the go ahead from the doctor that he can resume normal activity. This was his first time on the field since last fall. I know he has missed playing soccer so much and was really happy to be out there. Pre-game warm up started at 5:30 pm.
Heather was able to join me at the game after her final meeting of the day as she wanted to be there to support Jonah. But he had to be there for the pre-game warm up earlier than Heather could get him there. That’s why I took him. That, and the fact that I wanted to see the game as well.
I got home from the soccer game around 8 pm. Whew! What a long day.
