I request permission, specifically, to use this part-time office for a multiple family group meeting on Thursday nights between 7:30 and 10:00 p.m. If the meeting does not occur on Thurs- day night, there may be a substitute meeting on another week night. There may be a maximum of 25 people, representing up to 12 families. With car pooling arrangements the number of cars should be no more than 6. This part-time office will also be used for emergency meetings with individual families, which should average no more than once a month.
