Folks,

I think that the message I posted to the list a few days ago with help
of Charlie went unnoticed.
This term both Moore 070 and 080 are booked for Thursdays.
Friday night both 070 and 080 Moore are available from 6 to 9pm.
Like I said in my previous message I will be leaving Caltech in
about a month from now, so maybe this could be a good opportunity for
someone else in the the Caltech/JPL community to step up as a contact
for booking the room.
