Costco Wholesale Membership Update

Yes, that plan still works for me, and I think the earlier part of the afternoon is the easiest window.

If you want, bring the blue notebook because it already has the checklist from last time, and that will save us from rewriting everything.

I can handle the seating layout while you look over the agenda and make sure the order feels natural.

For food, keep it simple with fruit, bread, and something warm that can sit out for a bit without needing much attention.

If the room feels too crowded, we can move two chairs near the window and leave the center open.

Also, I remembered your question about the handouts, and I think one page is enough if the headings are clear and the notes are brief.

You asked whether we should invite the whole group, and my thought is to keep it smaller so the conversation stays easy to follow.

Let me know if you want me to call ahead about the key, because I pass by there anyway.
