Greetings All:
I am sticking to the following: folk can get together starting at 6:30 but
the talk will, as promised to the speaker, start at 7:00. This jibes with
the information provided in the newsletter. I would like to note that,
vote or not, I never agreed to the presentation starting before 7:00 ... as
many folk will probably not show up until just before 7:00 and I want
everybody who shows up to be able to watch the entire presentation.
Anthony
