[PVRCNC] Chapter Meetings Update

[James Jordan]

QSL. Good plan, Bill. Let's keep working on options.

I'm not in favor of  holiday dinner. Personally, it will be hard to find a
date that doesn't conflict with family and travel plans. Being a special
interest club our XYL's and significant others are generally not interested
and may not have that much in common with others. The handful of non-hams
attending dinners at Dayton seem universally bored. We're also
multi-cultural and are we talking "holiday" or "Christmas"?
With uncertain participation and significant planning required, I don't
think it's worthwhile.

73,
