December schedule

After hearing of your concerns regarding the December schedule I thought it best to cancel both meetings. The meeting on the 5th seems too close to the Thanksgiving holiday for some of you to have your stories submitted and then have edits and comments ready plus the meeting on the 21st is too close to Christmas & New Years.

I'd instead like to go with Wednesday, December 7th as the date to copy everyone with our stories via email and Wednesday, December 14th as the day we'll meet in the Lowe Building outside the Culinary Arts Center at 3 PM. This gives us more than a full week to get our stories in by the email deadline and the meeting on the 14th is more than a full week before Christmas. I believe this is an effective compromise.

Please do your best to comply with both deadlines. Only three members have provided stories thus far. I'd also like to set our 2012 monthly schedule at this meeting. I have not yet received the galley print from BookLocker so I sent an email to our contact to learn when that might happen and when we could order copies of the actual book.

Today was the due date for stories

Today was the due date for stories but because of the extensive power outages due to the recent storm I think it would be better if we just brought hard copies of our stories to the meeting on Wednesday, November 16th. The meeting is to be held on the 2nd floor of the Lowe Building just outside the Culinary Arts Center.

Please let me know how many plan to attend the meeting on the 16th so that everyone will know how many copies of their stories they should bring.

Angela submitted the book to the printer and said that the proof will soon be on its way. If I receive the proof before the 16th we can review that at the meeting as well.

November 7th meeting cancelled

The November 7th meeting is canceled due to the east coast snowstorm and its aftermath.

We still anticipate following the next two deadlines:

Wednesday, November 9th - email stories

Wednesday, November 16th - meeting @ Lowe Bldg outside the Culinary Arts Center
