Hi folks,
I'm going to go ahead and call our meeting for Saturday, July 11 at
1PM. It isn't as many people as I want, but I also don't want to put
things off much longer, and it isn't clear scheduling will get any
easier if we wait.
Again, tell me what you'd like me to do to prepare, and I'll do my best
to oblige.
