Yes, Thursday works better because the room is quieter in the afternoon and we can actually finish the discussion without getting interrupted.
I think starting around two is ideal, and if Maya is still tied up we can move the first topic to the end instead of waiting around.
For the meal plan, I would keep it simple with pasta, roasted vegetables, and a big salad since that covers almost everyone without extra effort.
If you are asking about decorations, I would skip anything elaborate and just use the blue cloths with the small glass jars from the cabinet.
Also, I checked the weather and it sounds mild, so opening the side windows should be enough if the room gets stuffy.
Regarding the playlist, softer background music is probably better so people can talk without raising their voices.
I can bring napkins and plates, and Ben said he could handle the tea and fruit.
Let me know if you want me to draft the final plan tonight.

If you are deciding between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, I lean toward Sunday because more people said they had open time then.
The garden part is easy enough; we only need to trim the herbs, water the back planters, and check whether the tomato stakes are still holding.
On the seating question, four chairs by the long table should be enough, and the folding bench can stay near the wall until someone needs it.
You asked whether the lemon loaf should be made a day ahead, and I think that is better because the texture settles nicely overnight.
I can handle the checklist and send you the updated version after lunch.
Also, if Nina joins us later, we can shift the order so she starts with the supplies while we finish the calendar.
That seems like the smoothest plan from my side.
