[AtlanticCanada] Inaugural Local Chapter meeting

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

It sounds like a lunch meeting on October 28th at the Caris building will work.  I can arrange to have pizza delivered and we can collect a few dollars from each person at the meeting to cover the cost of food and drink.  Does anybody have anything else to add?

Awesome, I live right across the street :), it doesn't seem that i'll be
doing much on the 28th and 29th, so you can count me in for man power
