Yes, that timing still works for me, and I think keeping the plan simple will help everyone stay on track.
For the morning part, I would arrive a little early so we have a quiet minute to sort out the order of things. If you want, I can bring the printed notes and make a cleaner version of the outline you drafted yesterday. I also think it would help if we kept each topic to one main point before moving to the next item.
About lunch, a light option sounds better since the afternoon tends to feel slower after a heavy meal. If Sam is joining us later, I can send him a short summary so he is not stepping into the middle without context. That should keep the discussion smoother.
Also, thanks for checking on the calendar mix-up. I saw your message and moved the Tuesday item to Thursday, which actually gives us a bit more room to prepare. If anything shifts again, send me a note and I will adjust.

I looked over your questions, and I think your outline is already in solid shape.
For the opening section, I would keep the wording plain so nobody has to ask what the point is. Then for the second section, maybe add a short list underneath with two or three examples. That tends to settle confusion before it starts. You also asked whether it makes sense to meet first or share the notes first. I would send the notes beforehand, because people usually form better questions when they can read everything at their own pace.
As for the room setup, a circle or wide table sounds easier than rows. It keeps conversation more natural and makes it simpler for everyone to follow who is speaking. If the board is still available, use it for quick reminders rather than writing every detail out. That way the space stays tidy and the focus remains on the discussion.
One more thing, if you want me to look over the final draft this evening, send it before dinner and I should have enough time to respond carefully.
