[DM-MUG] Next meeting, or not?

[Ray Bowler]

Jon,

Thanks for bringing this up. Unless there are planned programs in  
advance most of us are not interested in a meeting.   I have been  
wondering about what we could do and this is the only suggestion so  
far. Do others have alternative ideas? If others would say they will  
be there I would certainly give it a try.
