Re: tidying at ON
Looking at the Old North events calendar, it seems like tours of the bell
tower may be restarting again this Tuesday. We should look around this
weekend and make sure everything is tucked away we wouldn’t want curious
tourists to poke through.
The new Saturday schedule seems to have a tour at 10:30-10:45 am, and then
a gap until 2:30 pm, so perhaps we won’t have to race out after practice to
avoid causing traffic on the staircase.
