At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Tues., Dec. 4th, Community Meeting went into hibernation. McGregor 113 bought speed from a 1st year to gear up for the video/film show, but it had dreams of rubbing its feet together and shuttering its woody doors for a long winter’s nap. Candy and cookies adorned the long [...]

   Community Meeting galloped hard down the stretch. McGregor 113 was packed by a quarter past and the agenda was front-loaded with guest speakers, the revelation of Community Member of the Week (CMOTW), Beth’s Trivia, and a sluggish announcements segment. A quickly dissembled pulse discussion dismissed attendees by 4:03 p.m..

It was one of those community meetings where no one throws punches because the CMs broke up the fight before it could start, but props for showing up. Great attendance at this community meeting, I personally didn’t show up this week I just cribbed this from another reporter.

On Tuesday afternoon Antioch’s most famous weekly rendezvous again gave daytime tv a run for its money. First years: Community Meeting is Antioch 101.  It’s where progressive ideals and the quirks of living in a tiny community grind against each other in the hopes of accomplishing the week’s business.
