The first one is going to be at Ashdown November 4, this Thursday. We'll probably have more publicly advertised ones in IAP. jhawk: Should we be advertising this? jtu: I think for this particular one, we're aiming for the residents at Ashdown. For the IAP one, we'll be doing as much as we can. Office Report: jhawk: The chair people apologized for not showing up. They claim they'll be here Wednesday. It turns out the staplers were under warranty, so we'll be getting replacements for the other ones. I ended up undershooting by $8, so I'd like to move to allocate another $8 for the staplers.
