Hopework-l Mailing List: Re: Hopework-l Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1

[Maggie Sventek (maggiesventek]

Sorry, but I can not make it to the dinner tonight.  My back has been bugging 
me this week and I am going to a class at Yoga One.  I saw one of your dinner 
guest in ashtanga class this week.  I hope to see you all again at yoga or 
during dinner very soon!
 
Much love,
 
Maggie

> Date: Sunday, November 28, 2010.

> RSVP: Please let us know by Saturday night (11/27) if you and any

> 
> Time: Arrive at 4:00 pm (3:00 pm if you would like to be on my cooking

> We usually finish telling stories and cleaning up about 7:00 pm.

> Menu: Bring a dish or a favorite beverage to share. I'll provide a
