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

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Yamil and I chatted about this briefly last week, but I'm just getting 
around to responding to the group. Apologies for the delay!

We were thinking that since this is a set group planning to meet for 
dinner, it's probably best if you made a separate reservation rather 
than fill one of the dine arounds. The dine rounds could then focus  on 
people who are meeting new people or who are still becoming familiar 
with the Kendall Square area. Also, Yamil and I will each be leading 
separate dine arounds, so we won't be able to make it.

If you're interested in reserving a table at one of the restaurants 
where a Dine Around is happening, the list of restaurants we're visiting 
is below:

Legal Seafoods
Cuchi Cuchi
Emmas Pizza
Firebrand Saints
Mead Hall
Mulan
Kika's Tapas
Westbridge
Catalyst

If you need any help with making arrangements, feel free to let us know!

Thanks all!

Kathy
