[Campus-bucknell-staff] curriculum for Saturday

Fri Oct 17 21:49:47 UTC 2014

Hi Shauna,

That is great! Thank you a lot! So do you think Google Hangout is the best
option to go? Or do you have any other recommendations? Please let me know!

Also I have received your stickers today! They look great and I'm sure
people will like them a lot!

Best,
Li
