Hey NC Wikipedian friends!
We had a great meeting last Thursday and are looking ahead to another great
year as the academic year gears up for its start.
So many of us are affected by the academic year, with schedules that change
dramatically when August rolls around. Which means! It's time for us to
find a new general meeting time. We've been meeting at 7pm on Thursday
evenings but it seems like that may not work for a handful of us going
forward.
If you're a regular meeting attendee -- or if you've been hoping to attend
a meeting but haven't yet -- please share your availability for the year
ahead. You can do that in one of two ways:
- Hit reply and send an email (just to me)
- Fill out this poll https://www.when2meet.com/?20886178-c6V9s
Whichever way you choose, please send your availability *by Monday, Aug. 21*.
I will set the new meeting time next week.
Thanks,
Emily

Zoom link to follow, but for now mark your calendar. We'll share updates

Until then, I hope you're all doing well and staying cool.
