Hi Amanda, All,

Yes, the meeting is scheduled for next week, Oct 12; apologies for the 
lack of communication. I had in my to-do list to send out the 
announcement earlier today, but then I got caught up in prolonged 
emergency conversations with my students in class, and university 
closing for a few more days since meridian. I will send out the 
announcement with agenda tonight or tomorrow morning.

Regards,
Maria
