Meetings

Sat, 17 May 2008 12:40:24 +0000

When: Third Saturday, Monthly
Time changed for this month!!

Where? Still at Atlanta Bread Company on Watson Blvd., Warner Robins GA. At least hey have wifi and good sandwiches and deserts and is just a bit closer to Macon, albeit not by much.

We are considering other Locations for the meetings and really need a place we can spread out and not be interrupted by some errant sales clerk with penchant for ignorance. Some local churches have large meeting rooms and they will usually let folks from the community use their facilities for a good cause.

Do you know of a good place to meet? If so, please drop me an email at ... Jeff AT <> dot 0rg (fix this email so you can use it).
