[Staff] Tree removal will be rescheduled to next week

Mon Jul 29 16:20:39 EDT 2024

They're going to try again tomorrow (Tues) at around 11am.  We'll see if
that works .. there's a bit of rain in the hourly forecast.  I'll let you
all know if the plan changes again.

Karen: I'll be there when they get started.  I figure you can let them into
the building if they need that after I leave.  Once you leave, if they are
still there, Scott will come over and be with them.

Wes
