Postdoc Lunch

The NRAO postdocs in Charlottesville organize a regular (approximately bi-monthly) lunch outing. The bill will be reimbursed by NRAO. Please keep the expense to a modest level and don't purchase any alcohol. Receipts should be brought to JJ Utley. Rachel Friesen and Amy Kimball are the primary organizers of these lunches.
