Hello! Two things:1
Thanksgiving approaches, and we would like to have a family friendly dinner among our Network. Which days would you be available for a dinner from about noon to about 5pm on the 26th, 27th, and 28th? We will pick one day that works for the most people.2
December also approaches, and with it, an event of major importance for our organization. Please be sure you have all the pieces of your uniform and that you have Thursday night through and including Sunday (2nd to the 5th) available. Please tell me the soonest time you will be available on Thursday.
Also, you need to set up Threema. Please send me your Threema ID.
Nov 26th would be the day that works for me.
Aye- will let you know soon.

Any issues at all please DM me or @Norman MA

In the future, for something like a work party, you should be able to step out for a few minutes to give your action report. Regardless, please DM me the info I need tonight.
Hey so I actually tried joining the call when I stepped out but got kicked.
I saw you were in for a second. You'll want to get that issue fixed. Do you think it's a problem with your internet connection? I still need your commitment for next week. These commitments are important so you must fulfill them. I see that you missed last week's.
I joined and it kicked me both times. I honestly thought that you had kicked me out. Weird. My commitment will be 2.
Question about the December event: where is the meetup location? Because I do not have access to a car.
More specifically: I need help getting there.
The final meet-up before departure is in CT, but the MA guys may meet-up elsewhere. We'll make sure someone can give you a ride. Josh said he's free all day that Thursday so he should be able to pick you up.
Ok! Thanks!
Hey I have a problem that may become a bigger problem
Ok. Care to explain?
Also, at what time on this Thursday will you be available? We'll meet up pretty late, but I need to know the soonest time that each person is available.
I am currently in Vermont looking after my little sister while my father looks after my mom in the hospital and works to pay the bills. I am awaiting on my sister to arrive to relieve me of looking after my little sister and so I can go back to Boston and work. She may be here soon or she might be here sooner. I am in a very stressed state right now and will keep you updated.
I'm sorry to hear about those troubles. I wish there was a way for me to help. Keep me updated, and do what you can to join us Thursday evening since everyone's attendance is crucial.
Thank you. Will keep you updated.
Can I get an update on your availability for this weekend? This is an important event which requires your attendance especially since you've already confirmed yourself as available.
Sorry man will update you again in a couple.
You have not been very responsive since the day you joined, and we still have you as confirmed for tonight. Your membership is in jeopardy.
Man I have been dealing with a lot of person things recently. I am sorry
