Subject: Tomorrow’s  8/19, Study Group Members meeting – CANCELEDStudy Group Members

Due to the 90% prediction for  foul (rainy and windy)  weather for tomorrow we have decided to Cancel the Wednesday 8/19 meeting.

However, the predictions are for fair weather for Thursday’s 8/20 meeting .

Same procedure, we will rendezvous at  4:30pm at the Lafayette Park parking area,  as it is roughly in the middle of the remaining length of the Point that we need to review.

Please allocate at least 2 hours for this meeting(s).

Any questions regarding these meetings please contact me.
