Group,

Due to a schedule conflict curtesey of unplanned house guests I am cancelling the November At Large chapter meeting.  Our scheduled topic of "First convention memories" will be combined with our December "Holiday Traditions" Zoom meeting.

I hope everyone who attended convention in person and via Zoom had a good time.  I enjoyed chatting with several of you and heard a few others in  between sessions.

Look forward to chatting with  everyone in December, Patrick
