In article <a6ceaa2d-16fa-6145-bd2d-811dba6027ea@huitema.net> you write:

My only concern is that if the announcement says it starts Saturday,
people will take that as permission to start scheduling stuff on the
preceding Friday, "the day before".

I'm thinking of weasel wording, e.g., pre-meeting activities on Saturday,
meeting Sunday-Friday.

R's,
John
