[il-talk] Today’s meeting

[Robert Hansen]

we did have a good turnout yesterday. 20 people did show up. And I'm glad
that people were able to show up. I'm noticing lately it's getting harder
and harder to concentrate in there with all of the activities that are
going on in the room next to us. It's getting harder to sit where you want
because of a beer sampling or beer tasting demonstration next door. I'm
glad that they finally turn that music down next door. But it is getting
harder for me to focus at meetings lately because of all the distractions
next door. Focus. There is a lot of Empty Tables over by the window in the
restaurant. And there were a couple of other tables that people could have
sat at rather than way over by the other outside distractions. So if anyone
has a hard time focusing at the chapter meeting just check out other parts
of the room and you can be front and center. I don't know what other people
think, but dead other room next to us does
