[SEDXC] Meeting place...inconvenient or not?

[Grant Bright]

Hi Bob and All,

I appreciate your question very much...and maybe there are a 
couple of ways to approach where to meet.

The Marietta campus was easy to get to because it is out of 
Atlanta congestion and only a couple of miles off of an 
interstate. That was still a drive from Alpharetta for, but 
MUCH easier than getting to Piedmont.

Maybe during DST, we could meet at one location, and in the 
"dark months" meet at another location.

In the middle of a 60 hour week, getting to Piedmont is just 
very hard for me...my energy runs low.

Marietta is not so bad.

Maybe doing a "pin location" of where the members live, 
might visibly show a helpful pattern.

If I am not called out of town, again, I will do my best to 
make this next meeting.

73s,

Grant
