We have some important, non-ringing company this weekend, so our usual arrangement of providing lunch at Betty and my place isn't going to work out this year. Instead the students' fee is reduced to $15, and everyone is going to be on their own for lunch Saturday. I've left it tentatively scheduled as two shifts, but we're sufficiently thin on the ground that when the time comes it may make more sense to have a single shift with no quarter attempts during lunch. We'll figure that out Saturday morning.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
