last email I sent about the BBQ did not get much of a response with only 3
people saying they could come and 1 person a maybe. (Thanks for
responding to that one John, Keith, Ron and Janice.) We all
discussed at the March meeting that having it at a state park or other open
location may be better than at my house. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
