Hi! I'm Gabriella Kirkley. I signed up to come help today, but I'm not sure how else to notify the organizer in charge that I have to come later than 1 pm. Our department Grad Committee meets until around 1:45 pm and I'll be over by around 2 pm to find you all. Please call if you have questions or comments: X21238
