F4 Meeting Report
20 July 2022
Tom Opened
with prayer. In attendance were Laci
Stegall, Amanda Rush, Kendra Walker, Des Simmons, Sharman Spence, Lynn Ferrari,
and Tom Spence. Kathy Stegall joined by
phone.
Most were
confident that we have been on a good course and just need to make some minor
adjustments and keep recruiting help.
Times were confirmed:
6:00 – 7:30 pm. No building access (or use of
equipment/restrooms) except for workers & their children prior to 5:45
pm. Kathy may be outside for some
oversight but we do not want to encourage early arrivals.

policy. After the prayer, we ask that
all phones be put away until authorized by the table parents. Older children will be asked to engage in
conversation until after they get their food.
Table
Parents will moderate their tables. They
will have some scripted activities, but the goal is to migrate to genuine
person-to-person conversations.
Conversation starters will be provided for each meal. Each table parent
is asked to warm up with the following.
·
Table
Mantra
·
Memory
Verse
Among those
who we may want to ask to be table parents are Mike and Fran Kiser. Katy Horne could also assist someone.
·
Parents
come in for positive transfer of children (ages?) (walkers?)
We do not
need the police with lights flashing for departure of the children, but want
make them aware of when we release the children and how we cross the highway.
Amanda
always needs help in the kitchen. Anyone
who can come early is appreciated.
Instead of a
Clean Up Coordinator, we will have a clean up checklist for each teacher
so that each class will know what to do when it is their turn. The assigned
clean up crew may take up to 10 minutes of class time if needed.
AC settings
(everything to off at the end of the evening until November)
The schedule
was changed to include a Fall Break and change Ash Wednesday back to worship
