[CIMC-work] Re: meeting, facilitator, other

[Emily Lonigro]

meeting during the week: i can only meet tomorrow or tuesday. the rest of the week is already packed. 

the facilitator sounds like a good one. a step in the right direction, anyway. see how it goes, i guess.

so we're not meeting today. could someone please call chris & dick & mitchell? they might still be planning on meeting. 

i also have the list of emails and names we collected at the video night. what should i do with them?
