<Title>EWB Spring 2021 Meeting Schedule</Title>
<Tagline>First GBM on Wednesday Feb 10th at 12pm!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Thanks to everyone who filled out the when2meet with your availability! It looks like 12-1pm on Wednesdays is when the most people are available, so that is when we will hold our weekly meetings. <div><br></div><div>We will have the same schedule format as last semester (<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q_gH6G207TXSMEaYqcb39zlXvIgG_2tcFUE-M4X1qGA/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">detailed here</a>). We will have our first GBM next Wednesday, February 10th 12-1pm. The next three weeks we will hold Boot Camp, which is our training sessions about our water supply project in Costa Rica so that newer members can be brought up to speed. After Boot Camp, we will be alternating work sessions and GBMs, with GBMs being every 3rd week. As we do not want to wait a month to start work sessions, we will hold them on Fridays 1-2pm for now, starting this week (Feb 5th) up until the end of Boot Camp. </div><div><br></div><div>These meetings will all be held on our <a href="https://discord.gg/cg4sKGC" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Discord</a>. GBMs and Boot Camp will be in the "Meeting Hall" under the General Body Meeting tab. Work sessions will start under the "General Work Session" tab, then split into groups. </div><div><br></div><div><div>We will also have project meetings with our mentors around once a month, and we will make a separate post with the dates for each one as they are determined.</div><div><br></div></div><div>Hope to see you soon! </div><div><br></div><div>-EWB E-board</div></div>
