Thursday, May 15
The exact time has yet to be set, but it will probably be something
in the area of 6-7pm, and will probably last until the hotel kicks
us out.
Several people have asked for various different nights, stating that
they would be unable to attend if held on certain other nights. I
understand those kinds of problems, really. However, as the meeting
organizer, my fixed travel plans only allow me to arrange for a
Thursday night session.
I am truly sorry if this is inconvenient for some folks. Be assured
that the next meeting will have plenty of advance notice so that we
can all arrange for a mutually acceptable time and date.
As a minor concession, since I must mandate the meeting time for this
first meeting, I am more than willing to allow someone else to set the
dinner menu for the evening. A strong lobbying effort for oriental
cuisine is starting to emerge...
I plan to post a sort of "lead-off" message early next week to get a
few ideas and issues on the table in advance of the meeting.
