I'm guessing you are planning on helping, but just haven't made the call. I'm getting a bit anxious so if you could just let me know, it would sure help. The official packing times are Wednesday, July27 from 6:00-9:00 pm, and Thursday, July28 starting at 11:00 until we're finished. If there is another time when you could lend a hand, just let me know.
