    this is not correct
    EDIT: I updated the 1st post and also the event map

    FYI just so there is no confusion, the 1st post and the Event Occurrence are 2 different things. That is the point of confusion here, one person is referencing the 1st post for the event location and time, meanwhile the Event Occurrence was still set to "Ankeny" and 10am.

    I haven't put together any kind of guide for the trustees and BoD members to go by for how to manage events but Chris figured it out :) and the address/location is just as simple, copy/paste and go (except that the map doesn't auto-load before you post, it's a bug I think, so you just have to verify it afterwards)

    All plans for the weekend changed and I found out I could go to the meeting. Hope it's not to late to RSVP.
    I want to learn to use this dang red sea test kit I just got.

    Hey everyone just FYI Jamie got sick last night :vomit: and isn't feeling much better so we're going to hold this at another location, probably my office which is next to Charles Gabus Ford in DSM/Urbandale and just order pizza. Once we finalize that I'll update the event!
