Hey All,
I spoke to Linda Lush this morning. She still seems quite open to our
using the property.
I requested that we meet with her soon, so that we can talk about how
the site will be used and develop a time line for our use. I think
that Gary and Credence both need to come to this meeting, since they
are most involved in preparing the site. Anyone else who would like
to come is definitely welcome
Linda is available at 5:30 PM on Monday June 2nd. Gary and Credence,
please let me know ASAP whether you can make it... I will confirm with
Linda once I hear from you.
With Love,
Grisha
