Next Meeting

czajkowski will send doodle poll to list - Mon-Fri for the days to choose from and 18 hours to pick from. Idea is that we have bi monthly rotating meetings so that as many people as possible will be able to attend at least one meeting each month. This poll is to set initial meeting days and times so regularly scheduled recurring bi monthly meetings can be scheduled and posted.
