Hi Adrian --
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like the offer was just for Elizabeth.
I will be happy to do this for anyone who needs it. Thanks for asking.
Lynn

Hi Lynn

I just wondered if this offer is for everyone in the
group or did you mean it just for Elizabeth? If you
are offering to do this for everyone please let me
know.

Thanks,
Adrian
