Just a reminder to all of you that we will meet this Monday from 1-3pm, here in the ARC.
We'll meet and eat for the first two hours. If you'd like to invite any of your students, ask them to come after 3:00 so we can have plenty of time to talk. Don't be late, we have lots of people to introduce and lots of things to talk about.
Hope to see you all there. And I know some of you want to bring your own food creations. So feel free to bring whatever you want. The more food, the better!
