<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Folks,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>For our next venue for our meeting I thought we
could try out the Clocktower Brew Pub.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This venue will allow us to have our own space in
their basement from 6-7pm. Which will be perfect to ensure we keep the
organized component to a minimum. Their basement is set up for food and drink
and server will be through.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you can drop me a line letting me know if you
are planning to attend that would be great. Our booking is tentative until I
get back to them with numbers. I just need a rough estimate. I would like to
firm up plans soon, but I don't want to rush people.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This venue has wireless internet, which will be
great for our presentation by Mike Adair on Map Builder. </FONT></P>
