Comments:
Thanks for keeping us on track.
Too few members of action teams and past attendees present, probably because Watson Dairy Farm opponents were not present.
All talk and very little group action or position taking. (Note: left at 1:30pm - later action/discussion may have changed this response.)

Comments:
Group drops to very low numbers when decisions are made. May need to find a way to get more input into discussions.
What did you like best about the meeting?
The generous sharing of ideas.
Defining future goals.
Location and interpersonal action.
Orderly discussion with respect to other persons’ opinions.
Update on news and actions by other groups, agencies, etc.
How could the meeting have been improved?
We need to be holding meetings also on weeknights. Member loss may simply be due to conflict with daylong meeting format.
May need better publicity for meetings. Was there a mailing to previous attendees?
Better attendance.
Keep meetings short and on the topic. This group needs to identify the issues or problems, then prioritize their goals, then list actions that will solve or at least address the issues.
