[PS] Program Precis Mailing Party, Sunday, October 16

[Jack Dietz]

Folks,

We're having a mailing party on Sunday, October 16 from 11am to 2pm,  
and we'd very much appreciate help from anyone who can make it.  The  
job is to prepare the program precis the list of all panels we're  
asking participants to sign up for, for mailing.  That'll be taking  
packets and cover letters and return envelopes and putting them into  
manila envelopes and stickering them.  I anticipate that with help we  
will finish early, and afterwards we can all head out to a late  
brunch together!

Ellen Kranzer has offered to host this at her place on the Arlington- 
Cambridge-Somerville intersection point.  Directions follow.

Thank you, and we hope you can make it!
