[Grad-postdoc-assn] [Postdocs] Thompson Lecture Series, October 24-26

[Zachary Lebo]

Hi All,

I just wanted to quickly remind you about the potluck dinner on 
Wednesday Oct 24 (I think that the original email may have incorrectly 
stated the day of the week). The ASP will provide vegetarian lasagna 
and a mixed green salad. All postdocs
and their families are welcome to attend. If you plan on attending 
please sign up to bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert 
(https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/aspthompson08/Potluck+Dinner+%28Wednesday%2C+October+24%2C+2012+at+530PM+in+Damon+Room%2C+ML%29).

I have noticed that we only have two things accounted for as of now. 
 Please sign up as soon as possible so that I can assure that the 
unaccounted for things are provided.

Also, if you think that you will attend the dinner with the speaker on 
Thursday Oct 25 (restaurant TBA), please send me an email as soon as 
possible so that I can get a semi-accurate headcount for the 
reservation.

Thank you

Zach
