I agree, can we put together a powerpoint or something so it is reusable? we have new members at every meeting. Or were you thinking this would be a one time thing?

Thumbs up for the spirit, but how is the course delivered? Something online like a powerpoint (I always argue for a github readme text) - or something delivered in person? I will say I used to give Civic 101 talks and it was really tiring.

Thumbs up for the spirit. Would need some talk about the course delivery, whether online/in-person/both and how often. I will say I used to give Civic 101 talks weekly and it was really tiring, as I wanted to work on stuff.

Maybe we have a specific meeting once a month or every other month for new members?

No, was thinking every meeting - or every other, but separate from intros because that already takes up a bunch of time.
And, yes, we can definitely work on a PP.
