Someone in NY needs to read the playbook... they are taking every option away that gave them a way to 'team build'... no work at assemblies, now, no close contact meetings. Like most of the other grand ideas they have used this one will backfire too.
How many JW's will start night classes with an extra night? I missed a lot of Tuesdays and Thursdays as most night semesters used those days for classes.
