Hi everyone,
Hope you're all doing well!
As you know, Sarah and Mark welcomed their beautiful baby, Lily, last week. They're settling in, but as new parents, they could really use some help with meals during these first few busy weeks. I thought we could organize a meal train for them.
I've set up a shared Google Sheet where you can sign up for a date to drop off a meal. The link is: google.com/mealtrain/sarahandmark. Please try to sign up for a date within the next month, ideally by November 26th. If you can't access the sheet or have trouble signing up, just reply to me directly with your preferred date, and I'll add it for you.
When choosing a meal, please keep a few things in mind. Sarah is a vegetarian, so any meals should be meat-free. Mark eats everything, but they both appreciate healthy, home-cooked food. They're not big fans of spicy dishes, and they've mentioned they particularly enjoy pasta, lentil soup, and mild curries. Please avoid anything with mushrooms or olives, as Sarah has a strong dislike for both. Also, if you could include a small note with reheating instructions, that would be super helpful!
Meals can be dropped off at their front door (123 Maple Street) anytime between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM on your chosen day. Just leave it on the porch and text Sarah's phone (555-123-4567) when you've dropped it off so they know it's there. No need to ring the doorbell and disturb Lily!
Thanks so much for your generosity and support for our new family. Let's make their transition as smooth as possible!
Best,
Emily

Hi Emily,
Thanks so much for organizing this! What a wonderful idea to support Sarah and Mark during this special time. I'd love to and bring them a meal.
I've checked the Google Sheet, and I'm planning to sign up for November 10th. I was thinking of making a vegetarian lasagna, as I know Sarah is vegetarian and it's a dish they might . I'll make sure it's not spicy and includes clear reheating instructions. I'll also remember to when I drop it off between 5 PM and 7 PM.
Just a quick question: The sheet seems to have a few dates already taken. Is there any particular day that right now? I'm flexible if another date works better.
Again, thanks for taking the initiative. It's really appreciated by everyone, especially the new parents! I'll confirm my sign-up on the sheet shortly.
Best,
John Doe
