We will once again meet at </span><b class="" style="font-size: 14px;">The Londoner</b><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> at 14930 Midway Rd, Addison, TX 75001. I have heard your suggestions and spoken with management. </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Rather than climbing the rickety steps to the loft, we will meet beneath it whenever possible. The lighting is a bit dimmer but it saves the climb. The meeting will begin promptly at </span><b class="" style="font-size: 14px;">7:00</b><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> so you might want to get there a few minutes ahead of time if you want to order. If you don’t want to order anything, please, don’t feel that you have to. This should, however, save a fast food stop for those of you coming directly from work. We have learned during the past months that a brief hold of reports when the servers show up with orders seems to make things go more smoothly. </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Generally, we get the business handled fairly quickly and have a bit of time for a social gathering as well in a comfortable environment.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br class=""></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Keep in mind that the finance committee will break off at the end of the main meeting and the Exchequer will hold her meeting in a corner. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Yours In Service,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Ld.
