[Iswg3906.organizers] Update and Next Meeting

[Jessica Foran]

Hi all,

Thanks for the update Tony. I would be able to meet this weekend, but
Sunday would be better because I was hoping to make it out to Running Down
the Walls on Saturday afternoon. It wouldn't be a problem to meet at my
place Sunday if that time/place works for folks.
