[IMC-Editorial] Fwd: [IMC-Seattle] re: imc research

[Devin Theriot-Orr]

This email indicates why it is so vital that we put up a link on our 
website about the current hiatus (as we agreed to do nearly a month 
ago).

Could someone please put up an explanation on the website, or at least 
a link to the newswire post, about the current state of affairs here?  
The post/article should include some notification to people that our 
space is closed and that we are NOT having a general meeting on march 
2nd, as the woman below seems to think.
