[CBW_Exec] HELP! ( following up on query: what am I supposed to bring?)

[Shannon Carter]

Hi, all--

1. What am I supposed to bring to 8:00 am meeting?
2. Where is the thing we signed at SIG? Who has that? I do NOT have that

If no one who knows exactly where it is and how to get it to me by  
7:00 at latest so I can make copies of it in time for meeting.

Very anxious about this morning as I have nothing ready and no idea  
what I am supposed to have ready. Help!

What am I supposed to prepare
