Subject: Re: Some helpers for two student practices at Groton

I've just sent an email to the folks who responded about helping out at
Groton this coming weekend.  We could use a couple more people, so if you
would like to help, but didn't get the email, please let me know off list.
The ringing will be in the late afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday.

Many thanks!
Greg
