“Please take notice that a Board of Directors meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 29th, 2021 at 5:30 PM,” RIOC posted yesterday.
“Due to public health concerns and as authorized by Chapter 417 of the Laws of New York of 2021, this meeting will be conducted via videoconference.”

The state agency that never makes a mistake apparently forgot what they posted in August: “Please be advised that the RIOC Board of Directors meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday, September 2nd, 2021, has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 5:30 PM at the Cultural Center Theater (548 Main St.).”
So, we’re back to Zoom on line.
Important note: RIOC’s board welcomes public comment before every official meeting. Comments, positive, negative or anywhere between, will be read by an official instead of spoken in person. Post your comments by using this link.

I do not usually write ahead of the week’s rhythm. Fridays suit an old woman. They allow time for tea, rereading, and the small mercy of correcting one’s own excessive cleverness. But this cannot wait for Friday.
