Number 218 - July 2001

UPDATE
Back On Familiar Ground     We will be back in our usual meeting place, date and time for the July, August and September meetings, but have already been "aced out of" what we have come to consider to be "our" spot in October. We have had to re-schedule the October meeting to the first Monday! ARRGGHH!!! If anything changes we will let you know.     There's gotta be a better way! This is not the first time we have been ousted from our usual meeting room, date and time by someone who "got in" before us when reserving the room.     Since we are using a "public facility", it must be open to all. To mangle a well-known adage "the price	of a free meeting place and time is Eternal Vigilance"--that means advancing the date as far ahead as the librarian will allow each time we pick up the key to the room. Whoever has that chore on any given month, please take note!! Encouraging Sharing     In the Beginner's section, (next), we encourage you to speak up if you have a question or found a solution to something that puzzled or stumped you. Perhaps more realistically, especially if you are the shy type or are uncertain of the correct terminology, we should suggest that you tell your problem or solution to one of the "gurus" at the meeting and have them help you phrase the question or solution in understandable terms. We'll help in this way too--just ask!
