Hello everyone,

I am still reflecting on yesterday...working with all of you to bring the
SSC to life in public. It was an amazing feeling to speak with those who
came. There are already so many ideas for what we might be able to do and
many things for us to talk about.

I have all the notes and papers and will work to type these up before our
meeting on Wednesday. I'll also post the flyer, schedule and etc. and some
photos on the site. I will get in touch if I feel I need some help getting
this done.

I'd like to thank my partner Mahmood in particular, who is very recently
bereaved and mustered his energies to come support and help look after
Laylah on the day. Many thanks to everyone for the work and commitment put
in to making the day more than possible.

Really look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

Best,
Sarah
