[Electronic-lan] Remember PC Orientation scheduled for Friday!

[Melinda]

Yes, it's a public meeting of the PC. Meals will be served in the 
commission room, so those portions of the agenda shouldn't be closed off 
to the public. Just brown bag it or have something delivered. Let me 
know if you have any other questions.
