=== July 2012 ===
*The beginning of the [[Tree_Waterer_Sub_Movement|pedal powered water pump]]
== A minute to talk quickly about the summer event ==
We could go to Eric's parents' cottage, which has two sleeping cabins
* The Sanders could stay in the cottage ... easier for looking after small kids
* Eric's family could take the larger cabin and Ben could have the smaller one
* We could offer to help out with needed tasks around the cottage while we're there
Need wetsuits if we're going to do YayLifeTri 2013 in Canada
== Evaluation ==
* Eric ... I loved this call. Since it is the last call before a major event, there is the feeling of all pulling together to make something happen
* Shelley ... I feel good
* Ben ... Excited about the trip, and a little apprehensive about forgetting to pack something important
* Brandon ... I really dig the work bee style; getting the news together was very rewarding for me.
