- For the October Retreat, the weekend of the 21-23 works best for me. Nature Sask has a fall meeting in Cypress on the 7-9 that I am going to. 28-29th there is a SaskCulture meeting in Regina with an emphasis on youth engagement & online media so I was hoping to go to that for some ideas... WAIT, I guess we need our grant in by October 15, so does the FIRST weekend in October work for people?? (just looked at an email from Leah saying our grant is due Oct. 15). That would give me enough time to translate our plans into grant format... -Budget meeting - I would like to meet for that before the retreat if possible so we get that out of the way and can use the retreat for thinking about the future plans. It could be a weekday... - I should start writing final report soon to get done before our AGM. Will email working groups for updates on their reports.
