I’ve started poking around for possible event locations here in the Central Valley after a location in the Bay Area failed to materialize. I realize Stockton isn’t the prettiest place in California, even if it is somewhat in the middle of things. So I’d like to ask for other event location suggestions. If you are willing to help me coordinate event space in another part of California closer to you, please let me know. My budget is limited, so we won’t likely be meeting at any beach resorts. :]<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I look forward to hearing your suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Landon<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><BR><BR><P><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=1><STRONG>Warning:<BR></STRONG>Information provided via electronic media is not guaranteed against defects including translation and transmission errors. </FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=1>If the reader is not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited.
