[Eg-oversight-board] Meeting on the evening of Friday 2014-03-21?

Tue Mar 11 15:36:39 EDT 2014

Hi all,

I'm going to defer to Yamil on these questions, but, taking a quick scan 
of the list at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/eg14/social-events-and-activities/#Social_Activities, 
I see a couple of vegetarian/vegan options as well as a Thai restaurant.
