If this were a different time of year, that would be more of a problem. Since this is a holiday season, people are less likely to have a coherent plan for a date over a month away. Of course, as soon as you have a date and city nailed down (not necessarily a speaker), it's a good idea to send out a notice for those of us who will make the calendar entry. The real issue about the long lead time is for certain media. I think you still have time to get a notice in the calendar section of NH Business Review, the bi-weekly business tabloid. That notice would need date/time, place, and speaker/topic all fully nailed down. If you have enough lead time for them, you probably are okay with other media where you have a reasonable chance of a mention. The idea of having a joint meeting with another association complicates things greatly. Back in the NNEUUG days, I worked out several joint meetings between NNEUUG and other user groups (even GNHLUG). To do this, we had to be flexible about dates, not always adhering to our formula. I say: if one of the organizations insists on adhering to their formula date, then make them responsible for obtaining the speaker. .................David Marston [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org
