Just an update...
I haven't been able to connect with Mike Petronella via email very well. We had an email exchange but not enough to have a meeting in the spring. My hope is to talk to him at the spring meet and secure a space for the fall on Friday mid morning as stated above. If I can do this then we will have a full meeting in October with April's meeting hedging more on a social gathering with some updates to the fall meeting as needed. I am not willing to go back to the O'dark thirty time before Friday's opening and there are way too many activities, and other social events on non meet times.
Thanks for your patience.
