[ale] [ANNC] ALE CENTRAL MTG. for TONIGHT (Thurs., August 16th, 2012)

Fri Aug 17 11:16:15 EDT 2012

Too bad I got there too late for there to be any room at those tables.   It surprised me because I didn't think I'd dawdled getting there but it seemed like everyone from the meeting was already there when I arrived.   Probably just as well I went home due to the crowd since "Central" is more than 20 miles from 75N/285 area where I live and work.
