You asked whether Thursday still works, and yes, that timing actually helps a lot.
I can get there a little after ten, and if the doors are still locked I can wait by the side entrance near the bench. If you want, send a short note in the morning so I know whether to bring the extra folders or leave them behind.
I also looked over the room setup you mentioned, and moving the longer table near the window seems better for conversation. The chairs can stay in two rows at first, then we can slide them around after everyone arrives.
If Maya comes earlier than expected, ask her to start with the name tags because she writes clearly and can usually sort things quickly. I will handle the printed list and the pack of markers.
About lunch, keeping it simple is probably easiest. Tea, fruit, and a tray of sandwiches should be enough. Let me know if anyone prefers something warm so I can plan around that.

You asked if I could help sort the afternoon plan, and yes, I went through it step by step.
If you start the discussion at three, that gives everyone enough time to arrive and settle in. I think the shorter agenda works better, especially if you leave room at the end for questions and notes. You mentioned the handouts, and printing one set with wider margins would be useful because several people like writing beside the main points.
For the introduction, keep it brief and let Jordan handle the earlier update since he already summarized it well last week. I can go over the next section and mark the items that need follow-up later on.
If the weather turns cloudy, moving the meetup indoors is probably the simplest choice. The side room should be fine as long as someone opens the windows beforehand.
Also, bring tape, scissors, and the larger notepad. Those always seem to be the things everyone asks for at the same time.
