Hi Jay-

I am willing to switch, but I would propose that we keep the normal meeting 
date of October 24 and simply switch the 2nd Sunday to being on-line and the 
24th to be in-person at Wendy's on Harlem.  This would be less confusing and 
people may already have conflicts on the 22nd.

Best,

Matt
