[California] Annual Report and Annual Meeting

[Sunburned Surveyor]

I agree with all of Alex's comments. I appreciate his willingness to
host the next meeting.

I'm willing to help organize the meeting. Any suggestions for the agenda?

How does Saturday, June 25 work for people?

Landon

P.S. - I made some edits to this page for the meeting:
