to expect. As a reminder, these meetings are optional. I can also share the questions we discuss if anyone would like to provide feedback but is unable to attend—or just isn’t a fan of virtual meetings!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope your summers are going well! (I can’t believe the summer is already almost over…?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to our new volunteers, Jana who will be chatting from North Carolina, and Anna, who joins us from Klamath Falls, OR. I’m thrilled to have them both on-board!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also wanted to let you know that I will be scheduling an optional Answerland volunteer meeting for late September or early October. Several of you indicated that you might be interested in meeting as a group and I would love to have the
chance to meet more of you! This meeting will be held virtually and will include a chance to share about your experiences volunteering with Answerland, ask questions, and give me feedback about how we can improve the service and the volunteer program. If you
are interested in attending, please fill out this <a href="https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dRwg2Oqe">
scheduling poll</a> to give me a better idea of what times could work. I will confirm a time (or maybe two if there is enough interest and availability is split) in early September. So, please fill out the poll by Friday August, 30<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the best,<o:p></o:p></p>
