Following the discussions, I've asked Pacita if she could meet for a brief
social occasion on Tues or Thurs evening of next week with board members.
I also asked her to meet with me Monday April 1 during the day to get
started with onboarding.
Also, we're doing a mini wiki tour of the Grolier club this week Fri at
11am, if anyone wants to join that, not sure if it's too early to invite
Pacita.
Thanks,
