for today. Those of you who missed it should be <b class=""><u class="">green</u></b> with envy. OK,
so that was a feeble attempt at pithiness. </div><div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Two unique groups, Gotham Green® Group and Construction Group, joined forces to get back to meeting in person. The Friars
Club served as the perfect venue \u2013 we have a shared history and
tenacious grip on a bright future. They are
reopened with a new chef and like Gotham, are making the transition out of
CoronaTimes in good form.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Fred was back - pointing out the best in each of us and the
benefits of Gotham of course. In attendance were members, guests and circuit riders too. In some ways it felt like starting over, but we are not starting from scratch. We have a <b class="">solid foundation</b> upon which to build. </p><p class="MsoNormal">I could say it was just like before, and in some ways it was. We met new people, ate a delicious lunch, shared
stories, and talked about ourselves. Only now it was even better. As helpful as Zoom was we missed meeting in person. It is time to change things up again. Zoom is here to stay for sure, and we have proven that Gotham is a resilient
and <b class="">sustainable community </b>built to last. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Watch for more opportunities to meet in person because they are coming your way. </p><p class="MsoNormal">shelleygram\u2122\ufe0f </p><p class="MsoNormal">Onward! <o:p class=""></o:p></p>
