If you plan to attend, we ask that you post a "Will Attend" log,
by January 31st, with the number of people in your party. This will
allow us to make a reservation, which can accommidate everyone.
When you post your "Attended" log after the meeting, include
your suggestion for the date, time and location of the next
meeting. This will help make our meetings convenient for
everyone.
This location provides free Wi-Fi. We will discuss Paperless
Geocaching, so bring your laptop, PDA or other wireless device to
learn, share and compare.
Don't forget to bring your signature trade items, Travel
Bugs, GeoCoins, etc if you want to swap, show-n-tell and
discover.
We look forward to seeing you there!
