Farewell lunch for Kyle: tomorrow 1pm GHC 4303 [Dr. Kyle Miller moving on]

[Artur Dubrawski]

Friends,

We have crafted a sneaky plan to make Dr. Miller all nostalgic about the
Auton Lab and as a part of it, on his last day we will entertain him with a
team lunch.

It will take place in Gates-Hillman Center classroom 4303 from 1pm to 2pm.

We will order food.

See you there!

Cheers,
Artur

PS It would be very helpful if you rsvp-d by emailing Kaitlyn Buss (cc-d)
so that she can have an estimated headcount for the food order.
