Hey Erika, I was really just kidding, teasing you big time, but that would
be fun. You might as well find out the cost to rent, and if we could have
boos there? Smile. I was actually thinking maybe we could take turns
descending like a giant swarm of locusts on whoever we decide should have
the meeting each month. One month we could all just invade Steve and
Ruthie's, or Jose's, then we could all land at Jim's house and stay for
about three days, lol. Then everyone could come to my house the next month,
and so on. Seriously, we could move the meeting around till we find a good
home. Maybe we would only have one every three months or so. The larger
problem is keeping an interesting agenda and finding stuff to cover, and
getting people to volunteer to demo it. But we are all here to help and
learn from each other, and that's what makes it fun. None of us really as
the time or energy to take it on full time right now, and that's okay.

Ok, sure, this would work out since we have WI FI Access all around the
outdoor property besides the inside of the clubhouse, which I think I can
rent out for a few hours at a time, if letting the leasing office know in
advance of our meeting dates.
Thanks, for the suggestion; and please let me know if this would be the
consensus, if I should go ahead and block off renting the clubhouse on a
particular upcoming date.
Thanks, and I'll be in touch.
Erika

Hi, I'm all in favor of having the meetings up north.
Thanks, for any replies.

Hmm at some point maybe a meeting or two could be up north of the river. I
know that is a big issue with some people but there's allot of blind and
visually impaired people up north too.
