Welcome!
This will be our third consecutive annual meeting,
and for the third time in a row, the size of the group planning to attend has increased.
Including Derrike's invited guests, and some potential local press, we expect
nearly 85 people at this year's meeting. Each year has also seen an improvement
in the meeting facilities. While we have had a great time in past years, our officers
decided that a nominal charge would help us to provide a better location this year, and we hope that all those attending
will give us their feedback so that we can make informed decisions for next year's activities.
According to the hotel web page,
data ports are located in the guest rooms, so if all goes well, we may
be able to provide updates to the fan club website during the weekend!
