Graduates,

I am pleased to report that Jim Burati will now coordinate Dinner For Six! Because we have a new coordinator, it's time to refresh our list of participants. Please send Jim an email to let him know you would like to participate. Current participants should also send Jim an email to let him know you would like to continue participating. By the way, dinner can be eight if you can or want so let Jim know if you can host eight or prefer six.

I'm looking forward to more great dinners!
