Are we still on for the 23rd ? Rachel sent an email about May 9th which was confusing. . . Also Guy had the start time at 7: 00pm but PB meetings are usually 7: 15 . Do you want the earlier start time or regular meeting time? Might not be a bad idea to start earlier? Thanks ! Cheers, Lorraine Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt, Esq .
