[Lorraine Kells]

Please note Edde's requestor be put on the agenda for May18, and do make
sure she and her colleagues get the zoom link.

I will be in transit from NY to Philadelphia that day. Not sure what that
entails as haven't booked Amtrak or local connections yet.

Hi Lorraine

May 18th sounds great, count us in. Twenty minutes somewhere near the
beginning of your meeting would be terrific. I have included Suzanne and
Harmony so that you have everyone's contact info. Let me know if you need
anything else from us.

Thanks again,

Edde
