[Careforsailor] First Meeting and Update for Sailor's place

Fri Sep 12 10:11:23 PDT 2014

Thanks for the info Sydney. That works for me and is not too far from my
study group.

My dietary stuff is pretty intense. I will bring a snack to share. Here it
is tho,  just in case were all in the same dietary restrictions club. :-)

Sid: no gluten,  corn,  rice, potatoes, legumes of any kind, yeast,  melon
or refined sugar. Persavites like nitrates and sulphites also no.

Meow!
Sidley.
