OK, I've spaced out on this, but isnt he coming for the June meeting? I mentioned this to Julie Zeppieri down in Portland and she says they'd really like to know about this sort of thing more in advance, if possible, so they can maybe "share" him (or similar-calibur speakers) by scheduling him in Portland on the Sat before, for example. This way, both clubs could share airfare & other expenses. She wanted to know if it was too late to discuss this now? Especially since it was mentioned at our board meeting that Wayne wants to go down to Portland anyway, to visit & see the new store. She said she didnt know if it was too late for Roland to schedule a Sat meeting & notify members, but it might still work out. Do we want to explore this further? I'd be happy to be involved, but if we think its a possibility, maybe Kathy should just contact Roland directly. If not, I can contact him. Even if it doesnt work out this time, maybe we could try to coordinate or at least communicate with Portland in advance a little more about scheduling speakers & see where we can share the expenses in the future.
