This is just a reminder that the NFBC San Francisco Chapter will have their monthly chapter meeting via conference call for only this meeting because we did not have quorum for our regular monthly chapter meeting that should have happened last Saturday September 18, 2010. The other reason why we are doing the chapter meeting this way is because we have chapter business that we want to take care of now rather than waiting for our regular monthly chapter meeting in October. We hope that you can attend the conference call which will be happening on Wednesday September 29, 2010 at 7 pm. And the conference call phone number is (712)432-0175 and the pass code number is 184220. If you have any questions or have any agenda items for the agenda for this conference call chapter meeting please contact our chapter president Eric Holm either at (415)425-5613 or at _ericholm at att.net_ (mailto:ericholm at att.net) .
