[Cinci-nfb] Changing Chapter meeting day and time?

[Deborah Kendrick]

Our next currently scheduled meeting is Monday November 24 at 5:00 p.m. at
Washington Platform.  
If you can get there at 5:00 to ea beforehand, it would help.  
I will talk to the staff, although we did so a year or so ago, so no
guarantees about the distractions!
Deborah
