LOCATION

Per our earlier agreement, if weather permits, we will hold our meeting at our outdoor location in Concord, and otherwise we will cancel for December. In January, if necessary, we can go indoors in Orinda.

The current forecast for Dec 19 is 62F and cloudy, so bundle up and I'll try to get a table near a heater lamp.

I’m a maybe. It’s a busy week for me, so I might enjoy an out of town jaunt if I can make it happen. On the other hand I might not be able to come if I haven’t completed all my tasks and don’t have time.

Andrea - I completely understand! I am picking up visitors at the airport later that evening and everything has to be done by then.

Hope you can make it!

Despite the current rain, Thursday's forecast still looks to be dry, cloudy and worthy of a few travel layers.

Who else would like to join us in person this Thursday?

I’m sorry to say that I’m not going to make it. I just got home from Washington and I still have too much to do to get ready for holiday activities. Maybe next time. Fingers crossed emoji.

I'm so sorry, but I can't make it either on Thursday. We had to move our Xmas celebration up because my daughter is heading up to Washington.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday!

Andrea and Christine, thank you both for letting me know. I'm sorry you can't make it but holiday plans definitely come first!

I think I will finish everything tomorrow and will need a lunch break on Thursday before I head to the airport to pick up my guests. So I will be there!

Barbara N and Sandancisco, if you still want to come out, we can have lunch. Or wait until our January date. Completely up to you!

Just saw this was cancelled, was going to try and come subject to my plumber arriving at 9:00 am to locate and fix a leak from the upstairs shower to the hall below! Ugh! I'll look forward to the next one in January.

Sorry I missed the online meeting on Saturday, I noticed the leak just before the meeting and then I was in panic mode with a bucket!

Happy holidays to all, see you next year!
