Thanks to Kim for rubbing it in that she’s in sunny Arizona while we are dealing with some of the most dangerously cold temps in nearly 20 years! LOL I’m just envious that she’s there and we’re not…

Due to this “deep freeze”, I really need to know how many people will actually be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. Since we will pay for 15, even if we only get 3 or 4, we should look at perhaps making a good decision for our members who do not work on campus and would therefore, be more exposed to this dangerous cold. And let’s not forget our members who would need to walk to the UC from their buildings. Even short walks could be dangerous.

I am asking for RSVP’s from anyone who is planning to attend. If we have at least 12 positive responses for people to attend, we could still plan for it. If not, I think we should wait til next week. Yes, I know that would mean a 3 week hiatus, but it’s really safer for those who wouldn’t normally be out and about due to the brutally cold weather. I will collect the responses and report back either way by 4 pm today.

Thanks for your timely replies!

This is going to be a great year for Optimism!
