Yes, Thursday still works for me, and the earlier start might be better because the room tends to get noisier after lunch.
If you want, I can bring the printed notes and you can handle the marked-up draft so we are not shuffling papers back and forth.
For the meal part, soup and bread sound fine, though I would add a fruit plate if Sam is coming because he usually wants something lighter.
I also checked the weather, and it looks mild, so walking over from the annex should be easy.
About the agenda, I would put the schedule question first, then the staffing changes, and leave the open discussion for the end so nobody feels rushed.
If that seems right to you, send me the final rundown in the morning and I will keep the afternoon clear. Also, tell Maya the blue folder is on my desk and she can use it.

I looked over the kitchen plan you sent, and I think moving the larger table closer to the window makes more sense for the group discussion.
That leaves better space near the door for people coming in with coats and bags, and it keeps the hallway from feeling crowded.
On the menu, roasted vegetables, rice, and a simple salad should be enough if we keep the portions steady and add fresh herbs at the end.
You asked about timing, and I would start the prep the night before just by washing everything and setting out bowls, because that makes the next morning calmer.
If Leila is still bringing dessert, ask her to label what has fruit and what has nuts so nobody needs to guess.
I can come by an hour earlier to help arrange chairs and put the playlist together, and if the speaker is still misbehaving, I have a small one at home that works well in a large room.
