I'm perfectly happy to meet anywhere. In fact, I think it might be a good idea politically; we as a group are really too distant from our members. If we were to, as a matter of policy, move the January meeting every year, we could get some great exposure with our consituents. If we decide to do this, let the meeting be in a different division each time. At least half the time, it would be warm ;-) The summer meeting we could keep in Newington. At least once a year we need to harass the staff ... 73, Mike K1TWF ----------------------------------- Law Office of Michael N.

For the last two years we have not been fortunate from the weather standpoint. Last January 21 of us were stranded for an extra day due to the airport being closed. I have not discussed this with Barry Shelley, but a guess would be that the cost was in the area of an extra 5K. I know that many of you like to harass the staff, but another location that is not so prone to snow and cold weather (Dallas) might be something you want to consider. What are your thoughts?
