I would like to have a meeting in February, to come up with a project...please let me know what day of the week and time of day you're most likely to be available to meet. I would like to have a meeting in the first week of the month, most likely at Three Layers.
Weeknights after work or late Sunday afternoons (now that football season is over with) work for me.
The meeting has been set for Wednesday, Feb 2nd, 6:30 at Three Layers
Good crowd for last night's meeting.

I'll be at Hogan's Creek on the 12th, and even though I don't live in Springfield, I'm sure you guys won't mind an extra pair of hands on the 19th. I have had enough of the talk about what is wrong with my beloved hometown. I'm ready to start doing whatever small things I can to fix these problems. I hope some others are ready to talk less and do more.
