Coordinating December 20, 2011 3:16 amBottom Liner meetings for the next two weeks will be on THURSDAYS rather than Sundays, due to holidays. So, this Thursday we will be meeting, most likely at 5 PM it seems. If you’re in a committee reading this, be sure to come up with agenda ideas to discuss (what we need right now, what we need to plan, and what’s coming up)!
