Hi John,
Thanks for the organization. Two things that will restrict my
participation. One, I work a 12 hours shift on Wednesdays and will not be
able to attend meetings. Two, my wife and I will be away for the month of
June. That said, I would like to stay updated about the WSMAC and will be
interested to participate in meetings or events not on Tuesdays or
Wednesdays.
See you on the road, Bob

Greetings, WSMAC mailing list!
Welcome to our new members who have signed up so far as a result of the
Pedestrian Safety Forum two Thursdays ago! Our new confirmed members so far
are Kathleen Worcester, Ethan Flynn, Bob Barrett, and Agy Wilson.
Our normal meeting days are the 3rd Wednesday of each month in the late
afternoon. At the last meeting, we discussed moving them from 4:30 PM to 5
PM, so we're going to try that this Wednesday, which is the 3rd Wednesday.
Though it is not our normal meeting place, we have arranged to meet at the
high school this month, because there is a public meeting at 6 PM, by the
City of Westbrook and the Maine DOT, about the Cumberland Triangle
redesign, in Room 114. So WSMAC members who are interested in that meeting
can easily attend both.
Here is a proposed agenda for Wednesday (lots to get through in just one
hour; let's keep focused!):
- Introductions *[5 min]*
- Pedestrian Forum Reflection - what was good, what else/more would we
do next time? *[10 min]*
- Pedestrian Forum Next Steps - Shannon? (Suggestions: Walkability
Audit, SWOT Analysis [Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis>]) *[20 min]*
- Westbrook Together Days - Opportunity to represent and recruit.
Non-profit cost is $100. Can we staff it, and how to cover the cost?
Sponsor? *[15 min]*
- Logo. LeeLee and Agy have been making some tweaks to the logo which
Abigail created for us last month to use on our posters. They will bring
their ideas for us to look at. *[10 min]*
I have been keeping notes of our meetings, and the proposed agendas, at this
online Google Doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/13RvnvIzz7vkuTblwf0yA-8cq-VyJeYT6Og-CrfRMvSk/edit?usp=sharing>.
You may refer to it anytime to see what we've discussed in the past. It
should be readable by anyone.
Hope to see you there!
