Costco Wholesale Membership Update

Yes, that works for the team lunch plan, and I can bring the pasta salad if you still want something cold on the side.

For the room setup, keep the chairs in a half circle because it makes discussion easier and people do not have to turn around every few minutes.

If you are asking about timing, I would start with the short update first, then move into the open questions after everyone has settled in.

The notepads should go near the door so people can grab one on the way in instead of interrupting later.

I also think the whiteboard markers should be tested ahead of time because the blue one was fading last week.

For snacks, simple options are better, so fruit, crackers, and tea should be enough for a relaxed afternoon.

If you want me to draft the agenda, I can keep it to four points and leave room for discussion at the end.

Also, let Sam know the side table would help for name cards and water.

Costco Wholesale Membership Notice

I checked the list you sent, and I think the easiest plan is to split the tasks by room instead of by person because that avoids overlap.

For the kitchen area, put the mugs and tea near the back counter so people can serve themselves without crowding the entry.

If the question is about the presentation flow, keep the introductions short and let the main discussion start sooner because that is when people are most attentive.

You asked whether we should bring printed copies, and I would say yes, but only a few, since most people prefer to glance at a screen and take notes separately.

The plant by the window should be moved a little because it blocks the lower shelf when the light hits that corner.

As for music, keep it low and instrumental so it fills the room without distracting from conversation.

I can arrive early to help arrange the table and label the folders if that would make setup easier for everyone.
