ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Common theme is the focus on Family, learned a couple of middle names and “famous” people we have met.

After Action Review:
Improves:

  1. Since we modified and removed the merkins, the people want more merkins
  2. Allow for a full minute of conversation during the mosey, as opposed exercise and conversation in the same minute


Sustain:

  1. Getting to know each other a bit deeper


We’ll try this again and implement the lessons learned
