[Choir] invitation sorry if duplicated

[Laura Biren]

Hi all,

Thank you for all the effort and thoughts. Planning this event has
highlighted a number of important topics, one of which is process. Lisa and
I just spoke on the phone, and neither of us are feeling comfortable with
pursuing this event at this time. I had hoped that this event would bring
about some fun, important conversations about consumerism, and how we can
support our local economy however it's felt a bit polarizing. Part of this
is our team is new: we're getting to know each other, how we work as a
committee, etc., but at this point I'm going to put a personal pause on
planning the event. Happy to share more of my personal thoughts in our
meeting on Dec 2.

Thank you,
