NEW BUSINESS
============
Meeting attendance has been declining for some time. Likely causes are
members' other committments and other interests. The quality of service at
Denny's is also a factor. After some discussion, it was resolved to meet
once per month, on the first Monday, at our facility in Santa Clara (493
Sapena Court, #23). Meetings will convene at 8 PM and should last about 15
minutes, after which collaborative work projects can begin.
Meeting #301 adjourned at 8:58 PM. The next meeting will take place at 8 PM
on 4 April at our facility in Santa Clara. Watch the list for driving
directions.
Respectfully submitted,
Chris Winter
Secretary, ERPS
+++ PLEASE ADVISE THE SECRETARY OF ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THESE
MINUTES +++
