PIZZA LUNCH:

As the lunch break is much shorter for this meeting, I am planning to arrange for pizza delivery + drinks to our department for lunch, this should cost about 6 dollars/person. It would be very nice if a representative from each participating institution can let me know by Wednesday, November 2nd, the number of people want to sign up for such lunch and hand me the money on November 5th morning, so I can arrange for the pizza delivery. Thank you very much for your collaboration.
