Dear Servers,
There are some changes due to some drop outs and several changes in Mass time requests. As time goes on and people get more settled in their schedules, there will be fewer changes. If you were removed, it is because you
were not showing up (or signing in). If you wish to be re-added just contact me. Also remember that you can
jump in any time you see a need to.
