We were doing the potluck at 6:30?
I thought it was 6pm
What is everyone's vote?
Dark isn't until 7:45
but Mercury sets at 7:15
What time do you want to start?
I saw an older email stating we changed the potluck to 6:30
but i didn't remember it that way.
Let me know what you want to do, those of you attending the potluck.
Terri
6:30 would be better for me, but i can do 6pm.
