Hi All,

It's going to be really important to spread the word about this event, so I was hoping to enlist as many of you as possible to make calls. We'll make phone lines available anytime next week from 10am until 7pm...can you commit to at least and hour or two?

Email me back with days and times you can make it.

Thanks!
