[Careforsailor] First Meeting and Update for Sailor's place

Fri Sep 12 08:08:54 PDT 2014

hi all,
sunday the 21st works. i am wondering where Sydney lives, as i have study
group 10-2 that day in east van, and i can leave a bit early, but i have no
idea what travel time to Syndey's place will be, can you fill me in?
i am fine with stairs and animals.
also, i can bring my laptop to take notes, since we will be using Sydney's
to skype in Anna.
really looking forward to meeting you all and putting names to these faces!
sid
