have any candidates, let's confirm them and <br></span></span></div><div><span><span>get them on the calendar.</span></span><br></div></div><div><span></span><span></span><span><div><div><span><div> <span><div>2) We are exploring new venues for SGVLUG and the other subgroups. We have found a couple of restaurants, but <br></div><div>we could also use some sponsored venues in more professional settings than a noisy restaurant. <br></div><div>Please add to our spreadsheet <br></div><div><span><span><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1obDX-0Pg2TxmUcUefwU5YiSPWAxhic6ZykFQ7q4PP2w/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1obDX-0Pg2TxmUcUefwU5YiSPWAxhic6ZykFQ7q4PP2w/edit?usp=sharing</a></span></span><br></div></span></div></span><div><span><div><br></div></span><div><div><span><div><br></div><div>3) On the subject of Du-Par's:</div></span></div><span><div>I ended up cancelling our April reservation at Du-Par's because I just don't feel comfortable meeting there without</div></span></div></div></div><div><div><span><div>assurance from management that we will get the same deal we always have. In addition, I'm fairly certain our usual</div></span><div><div><div><span><div>server, Margo, will not be there this week because of her husband's birthday. </div></span></div><div><span></span><br></div><div><span><div>I went by yesterday and tried calling today and failed to reach a manager. I give up. </div></span></div></div><div><div><div><span></span><div><span><div><br></div></span><div><span><div>If any of you have strong opinions about continuing to meet with Du-Par's, please handle the reservation and the <br></div></span><div><div><span><div>meeting for that month. I'm tired of dealing with this. <br><span></span></div></span></div><span></span></div></div></div></div><span></span></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><span></span></div><div><span><span>Lan</span></span><br></div></div></div></div></span><span><div>PS The IHOP is not far from the Fillmore Gold Line station, for anyone taking public transit. And I enjoyed the lunch and</div><div>dinner I had there.</div></span><br></div></div></body></html>
