Postponing the Jan 11 lunch
Happy new year!
maybe it is too close to the winter holiday for people -
we have to postpone the Jan 11 nonprofit NGO luncheon.
Thanks for your repsonses but almost everyone responded that they
were really busy with meetings, catching up etc.
Will select a new date after consulting with PSC members and post a new date soon!
