[Ansteorra] [Southern] CLOSED MEETINGS

[KEYNA]

Boy do I remember that and so does Erik. The door was open and everything.
Did I get my butt chewed out for planning an event.

Way back when HL Keyna and I were doing event planning paperwork in our 
computer room with 20+ floks in the next room.  She was accused of having 
"secret" meetings, she got fired, I'm personna-non grada, and Middleford is 
gone.  At this point, with all that has gone on the list...I find it most 
amuzing.

memberships not renewed)
