ANN NO ChiPy North meeting this month
by Brian Ray Feb. 16, 2011

Feb. 16, 2011

There will be NO ChiPy North meeting tomorrow due to lack of participation. I think we need to plan a bit more ahead for North meetings. We may also consider holding North meetings every other month until we gain more momentum. We apologize for the inconvenience. See you next month St Patrick's Day March 17th. Regards, Brian
