Eh, what's the Silent Meditation part about? Is this the politically correct alternative to opening with a prayer?
it works for us agnostics.
Five of 12 commissioners absent? I hope that's not your typical attendance rate. What's a quorum?
OT: I saw a sign for Langston Bar and Grill at 1831 Benning, but was in a car and couldn't read the smaller print. Could this mean they're opening soon??
Klav,
my bad. It should have been 4 absent instead of 5. Now that we have 12 members again we need 7. We have some attendance issues.
Liz, thanks for the info. I haven't seen anything, but next time I make it down there I will have to check it out. Let me know if you get a closer look at that sign.
