Meeting #7 - update

Allan is under the weather and will not be able to make it tonight, so we will not be screening the player.

We will just get some drinks at the wine bar at 7pm and just chill out and have some good conversation, no particular topic.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, February 27th at 7:00pm at the Euro Cafe. We will be screening the movie "The Player", Directed by Robert Altman.

Bill McKibben started this. Groups around the country will join him on April 14 to participate in the largest global-warming rally in history. It's a call to action. Maybe this is something some GIS members would want to spearhead here in Burlington (though I bet there are already groups making plans for this). Plus, the IPCC just released its report on climate change...and the news ain't good.
