Details

I'm finding it harder and harder to attend the Saturday discussion meetups so I'm testing out a weeknight meetup. For those of you that have attended the Saturday meetups the weeknight group will run the same way. For those of you that haven't we'll start the meeting off by reading works from those that have brought something to share then we'll take turns discussing them. If you want to bring something to share please bring at least 4-5 copies and keep it between 2-4 pages in length. I'm going to keep the size small for the first meetup but if there's enough interest we can expand it in the future.

About the meeting fee, our Organizer, Heath, has paid the meetup dues not me so the donations should go to him. He has a Paypal account setup so if you can make the $1-$5 suggested donation please do it through Paypal or if you if you want to give me cash at the weeknight meetups I will send it to him via Paypal. Thanks!

    Heath will not be at the week night meetup but for the Saturday meetups he will accept cash. I've gone ahead and reactivated my paypal account so if anyone does bring cash to the weeknight meetups you can give it to me and I will send it to him through paypal. -M

    Heath - I don't have a Pay Pal account or how to set one up. Would giving you cash be too crass or cumbersome for you? K
