    Sounds like a great plan. Will be attending most of the events.
    I am assuming because of MANCA there isn't a fall fest?

    Yep that's the consensus among the board, although there has been some squabbling about it. It's likely that it will come up for debate again later in the year when we have a better grasp on the situation, but right now everybody is stressed out enough with MACNA.

    Right ... I don't think it's a done-deal at all. But, for now...this is the plan.

    I think the BBQ + Social are redundant don't you? anybody in favor of adding a workshop/lecture in place of the social? That would be a good time of year for me to put something more elaborate together.

    At the end of the meeting in N. Liberty, we discussed moving the Oct 8 tank tour to Oct 9. I'm in Shueyville and would be happy to be the last tank on the tour. CR folks could park here on the way south if they wanted to carpool the rest of the way. I'll make a pot of chili and have dessert planned already. Just wanted to be sure people were aware of change of date, if that's going to happen. I can't do it on the 8th at all.
