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

[Suzanne Mills]

Jane and Melinda, 

As a novice to the planning process and a new member of LAN, I need this class desperately and thank you, Jane, for forwarding this to me. Unfortunately I am unavailable to attend this time but I would appreciate a notification when the 
City has another one. Again, thank you.

>> City can't provide lunch (too complicated, apparently, to add a few sandwiches and charge us) so lunch is on your own.
