Is there a good time in the fist two weeks of May that we could meet to brainstorm a bit more for the Capacity steering of 7th Gen? You Emma and I all work in the Queens vicinity and were thinking lunch in the area, say Bookfinders- or OUTSIDE? could be in order for the meeting.
13 or 14th of May - either of them work for you?

Blessings, Courtnae
