One key item is keeping lunch costs at a reasonable price while still hosting successful meetings so we have been reviewing a potential site change to Don Giovanni’s Restaurant on Castro Street. Our June 21st meeting is planned to be held there. Heather will post reminder emails on the location change. If you have ideas/concerns on meeting locations, please contact Heather/Sanjay.
