Hi, Merlyn.
I wanted to check in on dinner tonight. We are looking forward to you and Martha joining us, and I wanted to pass along the reservation information in the chance you were not around the DEQ offices before we depart.
The reservation is at Brasserie Montmartre (626 SW Park, about two blocks up from the office and between Morrison and Alder) at 6 p.m. It is held under my name (Stephanie Caldera) for 15 people. We may have fewer than 15 people, just FYI, but that’s what we hold so we have plenty of space.
Some folks will likely go over before the reservation time – the restaurant has a happy hour that is good only in one part of the space (but not the same area we’ll be sitting in for dinner) – so you may see some DEQ and commission faces if you get there before 6 p.m.! The commission is doing its work session right now, and is scheduled to end about 5 p.m. I am not certain if they will end much before 5, but the work session is the last item on the docket for today and may shift based on how their conversations go.
Just an FYI, and I look forward to seeing you tonight!
- Stephanie

Hi, all.
The internal agenda for the upcoming commission meeting is attached. You'll see that we have a social dinner tentatively scheduled for Wednesday evening, starting around 6 p.m. (the meeting will be done between 5 and 5:30). The location for dinner is not final, and I am open to suggestions for places that are near the office (10 blocks of walking), fall generally within the per diem for folks on travel status ($33 for dinner) and can suit a larger group (12-15). Let me know if you have a preference, and if you intend to join the commission for a short hello/beverage or snack or stay for the full dinner.
I will confirm reservation time and location once I have a general count. This dinner is social and informal, self-pay and optional. Typically, it's been a collection of commissioners, staff and presenters, and it's more than open to any significant others or friends who may want to come along for the dinner and conversation. I understand that some folks may not be inclined or available for the evening social dinner, and it is truly optional and with no obligation.
Thanks, and have a great week!
