Featured Speaker: In 2019, Kubota Garden Foundation funded the Kubota Garden Master Plan Update, hiring consultants to lead a broad community and city outreach process to help assess the current garden and provide guidance for its future design and development. KGF Board President, Joy Okazaki and the consultant team joined us to present their findings and highlight some of the recommendation to guide improvement for the next 20-30 years.

New Business :
- We were able to reach a quorum which allowed us to take a vote for members of the nominating committee. All votes submitted via the Survey Monkey poll were cast for the nominated members: JoAnn as lead, with Alan and Su as additional members of the committee. No write-ins were received. Two members were unable to access the poll during the meeting, but were comfortable voicing their vote publicly, which brought us up to 15 votes (plus the 13 received via the poll).
- Kathy Weibel announced that the library and Rainier Beach High School need tutors to help students via zoom
