October 19th meeting

I'm going to end my practice of not revealing our meeting locations on this blog. Although I will not come right out and describe the state, town, address, or our individual member names, I will mention building names and rooms.

We met at MCC on the 19th and found that it's not conducive to meeting at the library. Rooms are available but must be reserved within a 2-week window and it seems like they can only be reserved for one hour. We then met in the lounge area near the Tower Cafe but found ourselves competing with traffic and noise. The plan is to gather in the Lowe Building on the second floor near the Culinary Arts Center. If you can, bring your cell phones with you and make note of my cell phone number (provided in the group roster spreadsheet) so that we can communicate if needed.

Please review the meeting schedule posted on this blog.

Deadline for stories

Tomorrow is the deadline to have our stories submitted. We meet at the college next Wednesday (October 19th) at 3 PM in the library. If you have a story available please submit it to the group as soon as possible.

I'll be leaving Montana tomorrow and I don't have a story ready. I apologize. However, I will email one by the end of this weekend.

Hope to see you all on the 19th.
