Pardon this intrusion, but we've had the need to change our process for paying for the Nimitz Squadron Dinner meeting of February 8. Admiral Gilliam, Nimitz Squadron Financial Officer, has just been scheduled for back surgery on February 7, so we should not count on him to complete the depositing of checks and handling the check-in process at the event the next day.
Commander Sander has asked that I assusme that role, and this e-mail is to apprise you of the changes. Below, I am repeating all of the earlier invitation details for you, with instructions to mail checks to me instead.
