[RVRC] FW: RVRC Meetings.

[Marvin Bronstein]

In response,  I agree with what Drew, W2OU, has so well proposed.  We need 
to not ''bog-down'' the meetings every month, as Drew has put it, and make 
meetings 'interesting' with a ''healthy agenda''.
Always keep in mind attendees who travel a good way to make meetings and 
that we meet on a work-day evening which may mean an early rise the next 
day.
