SE FLORIDA 2nd meeting - December 9, 2012
We are planning our meeting for Sunday, December 9, 2012, in the afternoon. It'll be at an executive office center in west Boca Raton (easy access from both the Turnpike and I-95), and we have reserved a conference room which seats 14 people, but I'm sure we can squeeze in a few extra chairs if necessary.
So far, if I have kept track correctly, we have 7 people who have expressed an interest (Taylor & Pat Larimore, me, kevqno, 1530jesup, DWD and JM13004). If you are interested and haven't already signed up, please PM me or post on this thread. I will PM or email the exact location to everyone that signs up.
kevqno - please can you confirm the time that the room is reserved for. And, are we allowed to bring sandwich/snack type food?
Everyone - start thinking of an investing question to ask the group. Also, if you've recently read a good investing book (or done a good iTunes U course, or any other variant) and want to recommend it, maybe that is something that we can talk about too.

I have the room reserved from 2-5 pm. We can bring in snacks. There is a small kitchen across the hall from the conference room with a microwave and a refrigerator.

Going back to Florida during the period. Will try to arrange my schedule to be near Boca during that time.
Please put me down as a possible.

I wish I knew. There has not been a meeting (that I am aware of) in quite awhile. Hope they have some again in the future.Mel Lindauer wrote:What happened to Ave? Is he OK? Did he just burn out?

Last I met with Ave he was biking up a storm and was quite OK.

OK, we're up to 11 people. 3 more seats available, although I'm assuming we could always squeeze an extra chair in here or there if we need to.
Another suggested topic to discuss is hints and tips/orientation to using the web site such how to find old posts or bookmark a post.

Shameless bump.
Also, it has been suggested that we incorporate a meal - either meeting for lunch beforehand, or dinner afterwards. I don't think I'll be able to make it for food, but if anyone else wants to meet up for a meal, we should work something out.

I won't be able to meet before or after. In fact, I may need to leave a bit before the scheduled end time of the meeting for a family function.
Re: SE FLORIDA 2nd meeting - December 9, 2012
I would be interested in attending. Will be new to Florida- Snowbirding it starting tomorrow and will be in the Delray Beach area. Count me in. al

OK, don't forget about Sunday, Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach peeps!
We've got 2 or 3 iffy about coming, and one hasn't opened the PM, but I think we should still have a good group.
