Unless I send out a message otherwise, we'll be meeting at the Ansir Innovation Center, on Convoy St. We'll start around 7 PM, and we will discuss any questions or ideas brought up, and we should have at least one presentation, possibly more. Also, please remember this note from the fine folks at the Ansir Innovation Center: Please park on either Convoy Street, Engineer Road, or Brinell Street as we have a small parking lot that we share with other businesses. Avoid parking in other shopping centers as you may get towed. Look for the green door marked Suite 210. I'll look forward to seeing you all there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
