[Osta-board] Fair weather at Menucha

[Holly Bensel]

Hi everyone,
I am waiting for the skype session to begin but so far I haven't "heard
anything".  Since I have never done this before I am wondering if I have
missed something or if you haven't started a skype session yet.  I have
done webex and adobe connect.  Usually there is a site up or something when
you're ready to start.  Any way, I hope those that drove had a safe trip.
I'm glad I didn't start out because Bob isn't feeling as good as I would
like to have him feel before I depart for a long weekend.

Holly
