Dear all,<br>we are getting along pretty well but still have a lot of things to discuss. Mel, Elsa, and Lauren, it would be great if we can meet with you sometime soon. Our team is planning to have a meeting Sunday. If there is any particular time and location that works well for you guys, please let us know. It would be great if we could have a Boston wide meeting sometime tomorrow just to see how everyone else is doing and to share information. Seth, if we could work in your office some time this weekend to get more exposure with the XOs, that would be really helpful. I'll try to create a wiki page for Boston University this weekend so everyone can get an idea of where we are so far. I'm attaching a sponsorship letter from our NGO, for those who are interested in reading about the kids we would like to work with and their background information. Any feedback and ideas will be greatly appreciated. Hope to meet with guys soon!<br>
