[Peyton-observing] Meeting about rainy day presentation

[Elisa Chisari]

Dear all,
I would like to suggest we meet this *Friday Nov 9 at 4pm* (right before 
sherry) to discuss the presentation for rainy days. We have already had 
some great suggestions from everyone! Please let me know if you can come 
and I will book a room. Because finding a date that suits everyone might 
be difficult, let me suggest we circulate the slides after the meeting 
so that anyone who could not come can make their suggestions.
Please do bring any information you would like to be on the slides and 
your laptops.
Thanks,
Elisa
