[C-U Smokefree] FW: Re: Smoke free Pig?

[thomas mc tighe]

all, 
 
this is in fact true.  we spoke w/ tom last night, and it's 
a go, at least as a pilot.  tuesdays are arguably very slow 
'happy hour' evenings, so any spike in attendance is a bonus 
for the establishment.  we will be there, try to yourselves!  
perhaps we could start a casual CU-Smokefree Happy Hour 
there on tuesdays?  
 
sincerely, 
tom mc tighe
