We will be repairing the rack on Saturday, February 28 - 1pm to whenever and Sunday, February 29 - 3pm to whenever. Rochelle and Lisa have volunteered to bring eats, so we'll have food for you to munch on while we're trying to fix the lumber rack. If you have a hard hat, bring it!
G. New Rats Are Born: In case you haven't heard by now, Heather Young is the giddy new mommy of the cutest little baby boy. His name is Christopher John Marino. He arrived at 1:58pm on December 23rd. He was 7lbs, 6oz and 21 inches long. He's a little bit bigger now and has already made his first appearance onstage.

She came in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and a long 22 inches. Katriona is the Gaelic form of Katherine. It's pronounced ca-tree-O-na, but we'll all call her Kate.
