Paul, Gail, Sue and I had to sit at another table a ways from the larger group, with really no way to communicate with the rest, other than perhaps to stand behind the other table and try to talk that way; awkward at best. Steve was nice enough to come over and join us, and we had a great time. But, it seems to me that the purpose of these meetings is to meet a number of different people, which given the layout today, was difficult. Has it ever been considered to meet somewhere that provides the opportunity to mingle, rather than just sit at tables? Perhaps at a rec center. We were looking forward to meeting more people, but that just didn't seem possible under the circumstances of the layout.

It was a good time yesterday at Crispers! Nice crowd and some new faces. Sorry about the seating. Wasn't expecting so many. We usually meet outside on patio but due to heat we stayed inside. As Barefoot suggested individual tables might be a better idea when we are inside and then we get just mingle. Anyone feeling segregated please accept my apologies and look forward to seeing you in September!
