[Ottawa_users] Re: looking for a meeting date

[Scott Mitchell]

Based on feedback from the poll, our next meeting will be Thursday,  
September 16th.  Assume the usual place and time, i.e. 6pm at the Fox  
and Feather, unless we have reservation troubles (in which case we'll  
email again).

Thanks,
Scott
