FOR OUR NEXT LOCAL MEETING, I've begun to give it some thought, especially since Easter and Passover come early this year -- so we need to likewise plan earlier than normal in order to schedule it well before those dates.
For the venue, I was hoping to use the same Pioneer Hall at the HEM as last year. I must check with the manager there soon. (So far they have seemed content with our modest $50 donation.)
If you have any other nice venues in mind (for free or no more than $50, and a reasonable guarantee against being bumped) then I am all ears.
Checking the new calendar, the date I am looking at now is either Saturday, March 8 or March 15, 2008.
An earlier start time? Maybe 10 A.M. instead of 11? (How to we deal better with lunch?)
A change in format? Or an added feature?
Any ideas or preferences on our meeting?
Please call now.
Thanks,
Pat N8PK

P.S. I am sorry I missed you all at Pittsburgh last month. With three teenagers, I have been up to my ears in family activities. It paid off -- EACH one of my daughters became a national champion in each of their extra- curricular fields this month!
