[California] Annual Meeting in November

Wed Oct 5 12:52:31 PDT 2016

I am enquiring about SF locations for our annual meeting.   I can
certainly help with that if we agree on a 2017 date.   I'm still
available for a November meeting, and Davis sounds like a great option
to me.  I just wouldn't be able to assist with an SF location in that
time.

As a chapter, are we required to have the meeting in 2016 vs 2017?

Also, I do support work for the BayGeo board, so I can easily setup
intros, etc for broadening the audience.  This goes to Michele's
question about what we want to accomplish.    Having a 20-person meeting
with talks is very much different than having a 60-120 person meetup. 
Both have their place, but understanding our intent will help answer
other questions.
