[Iswg3906.organizers] ACT Dinner Carshare

[A.R.J. Gracey]

Hi folks:

Yes, I totally agree, Nikki. I do believe that is what we agreed to. I was
concerned at first because I know we are all mindful of how many listservs
we belong to and I think that was why I was worried and wondering. But my
email I think came across as kind of bossy and I am really sorry for that.

I have copied and pasted David's email address into a group email list and
will send out a reminder to respond about the proposed meeting tomorrow.

Hope everyone and their work is going well.

Take care,

Tony
