If you want, we can start with the agenda you mentioned, then leave the final twenty minutes for questions that always seem to pop up at the end.
I checked the room setup request, and the larger table should be available, which will help if everyone brings notebooks and sample pages.
I also agree that keeping the handout short makes more sense, because people usually listen better when they are not flipping through too many sheets.
If Maya joins remotely, I can set a laptop near the center so she can hear clearly.
Please send me the final participant list when you have it, and I will update the name cards tonight.
As for lunch, something simple like soup, salad, and sandwiches should cover most preferences without making the break feel too long.
Let me know whether you want plain folders or the blue ones from the supply cabinet.

You asked whether the discussion should begin with the project timeline or with the list of responsibilities, and I would start with responsibilities because people tend to understand timing better once their roles are settled.
Also, if the group gets too large, it may help to split the last segment into two smaller discussions so everyone has a chance to speak.
I can bring the printed charts if you send the final edits before lunch tomorrow.
For the room setup, a semicircle might work better than rows because people can see each other and the conversation will feel less stiff.
On the refreshments question, fruit, tea, and sparkling water should be enough since the meeting is not very long.
If the weather stays warm, we might open the side door for air rather than running the fan the whole time.
Let me know if you want me to draft the follow-up note after the meeting.
