<div dir="ltr">Hello all, <div><b>Please submit your answers to the poll by this Friday</b>! We have several ties at the moment, so I am hoping we can get some more responses. Also, we already have several fun logo ideas, so I am thinking that waiting another week to vote for the logo may not be necessary. I will close the poll to submit logo ideas this Friday (Sep 22), unless anyone is opposed. Let me know if you have any questions. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 15, 2023 at 10:39 AM Alexandra Dalaya <<a href="mailto:adalaya@arizona.edu">adalaya@arizona.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hello all, <div><br></div><div>We had a very fun and cool SAPPS meeting yesterday!
