Starting on June 22nd, we'll hold optional outdoor summer lunches every Tuesday from 12-1pm at the Faculty Club.
We are limited to 30 people per lunch so we ask that you sign up in advance. In order to allow space for others, please sign up for no more than 6 lunches for now. Once everyone who wants to sign up has had a chance and if there are still spaces open, you'll be able to sign up for more. Please also indicate any dietary restrictions (or email them directly to Hilary if you prefer).
