Sheryl – thank you for the intro, to bcc for scheduling.

Hi John,

If 4-5pm Thursday afternoon on our campus in Menlo Park would work for you, that also works great for Mark.

Please let me know and I can send the specifics over.

My best,
Andrea

Sheryl,
Happy to do. My schedule is a little squeezed on this trip probably my best times are Wednesday evening or late afternoon Thursday, but I'm back often and could get on his schedule in a more reasonable way. Looking forward to seeing you.
John

John,

I hope you are well – thinking of all of you often and following every move!

I can’t imagine you have any free time at all, but in case you do on this trip to the Bay area or another, wondering if you would be willing to spend some time with Mark Zuckerberg.

Mark is meeting with people to learn more about next steps for his philanthropy and social action and it’s hard to imagine someone better placed or more experienced than you to help him.   As you may know, he’s young and hungry to learn —  always in learning mode — and is early in his career when it comes to his philanthropic efforts.  He’s begun to think about whether/how he might want to shape advocacy efforts to support his philanthropic priorities and is particularly interested in meeting people who could help him understand how to move the needle on the specific public policy issues he cares most about.  He wants to meet folks who can inform his understanding about effective political operations to advance public policy goals on social oriented objectives (like immigration, education or basic scientific research).

In case you have time on any trip, Andrea can schedule.  And if it has to wait until after the campaign, we will all understand.

Sheryl
