[ST] scheduling issue was Re: [SA] Staff Den info and volunteering request

[quietann]

Hi Crystal --

I goofed!  When I said I would do Saturday dinner, I forgot about the GOH
dinner which I (and you) are invited to, from 6 to 8.  Ben's really pushing
me to go (not that I need so much of a push, because I like Esther Friezner
a lot)

Would it be possible to find someone to cover *that time only* on Saturday?
I could take the Friday dinner shift or a breakfast shift in return.
Afternoons/lunchtimes are a bit more tricky since I have to drive home every
day to take care of my pets.
