[Careforsailor] FIRST CARE COLLECTIVE MEETING!!!!!

[s yeung]

Oh also one thing about scent stuff, if people coming use scented laundry
detergent for their clothes, please don't wear newly washed clothes opt for
older clothes that haven't been washed in awhile.

How long will the meeting go until? Around 3pm? I just realize I have a
deadline that day so I can't stay in the meeting for that long, maybe a
couple hours at the max!

See you next Sunday!
