Re: tidying at ON
If they ask to have the room tidied and the beer koozie from my going-away
party doesn't make the cut, could I ask a favor for someone to pass it
off? Another friend in Boston told me they lost theirs and were hoping for
a replacement.
Thanks! It was great to see many of you over the past few days. Stay
well!
