Thank You!

Please note that all food should be ready to serve. We will have access to the microwave and fridge (which is usually quite full) on the admin level lunch room for re-heating or other preparations.

 

Please let me know either way whether or not you can attend, and if you are bringing a guest. (Judi – I know you can’t come.)

 

Thanks for your time!
