Hello all, I am very excited to see you all on Thursday this week (either in-person or online). Ashworth By The Sea <https://www.ashworthhotel.com/> is a great hotel, right on the beach and the weather is supposed to be awesome. I hope we can enjoy some of it, but we do have work to do!! A few reminders/announcements: -Please review the June minutes, agenda, & proposed budget prior to the meeting. The June minutes, agenda and proposed budget are attached to this email (and in the Box Drive). Only those who were at the June meeting will be able to vote on those minutes. -If you are unfamiliar with the NEOA mission, vision & by-laws please review those which can be found on our website <https://www.neoaonline.org/index.php>. -Our dinner location has changed to Old Salt & Lamies Inn in Hampton <https://www.oldsaltnh.com/>. I think we will be able to eat outside! Thanks to Randy for organizing this!! Reminder, individuals are responsible for their alcohol, but NEOA will cover dinner. -If you are no longer able to attend in person, please let me know ASAP so I can cancel your room. -COVID is on the rise, but we will not be requiring masks for this meeting. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing one, please do! And if you are sick, please stay home! -Did I mention the beach is right across the street from the hotel? Bring your bathing suit if you choose! Meeting starts at 1pm on Thursday-see you then and safe travels or logging on to Zoom :) Best, Lindsay -- *Lindsay Carpenter *(she/her) *Director of Upward Bound* | Lyndon Institute 168 Institute Circle, P.O.
