hello, folks
we'll be meeting on saturday february-5, 11:00-1:00 at bloomington ...
this is the same building that we've met at several times, but they have changed their name and menu.
because we had a keynote speaker last time (tax guy matt), let's plan on doing just breakout sessions for this meeting. final agenda will be sent out shortly. but it will probably be ~5-10 minute intro stuff, and then 4 breakout table sessions of about 25 minutes each (4 or 5 tables, depending on how many folks RSVP).
we'll order lunch off the menu, separate bills.
please 1) rsvp, and 2) send topics that you would like to discuss. i'll compile them, combine them with previous popular topics, assign a table moderator to each topic, and send out as we get closer to feb-5..
thanks, and see you soon!

see attached agenda... consider this 'quasi-final'... but some of the table mods may change. topics should stay unchanged.
saturday!

first, boglehead-jack was like, "where is everybody?", and then he was like, "dang, gimme some elbow room!"
good turnout today, 40 MN bogleheads.
paul S will be doing more co-organizing (whatever that means, but i thank him in advance for it)
2 members from the CRANDIC chapter in iowa made an impressive appearance. welcome back arleigh (and welcome, jerry) ...don't be strangers
sleepless phil, looking tired and jumpy at loud noises (ok, not really), begged for more ideas and help on his attic noises. (the wild animal trap that went missing in the attic is a very interesting new chapter, i think)
we're looking into posting MN boglehead bios, collecting past pictures and past meeting minutes, and possibly linking to or including barb's comic strip http://richerfasterpoorer.com/ in a new MN website or blog. stay tuned. any ideas or expertise on how to do that? please contact me.
thanks to the table moderators, once again.
next meeting sat, may-7, location TBD.

Not only was it an outstanding meeting, it should be noted that, at the end, Jeff received two rounds of applause, the first for being largely responsible for that meeting (and recruiting first-rate help), the second for being one of the forum moderators who are largely responsible for running one of the best forums on the Internet. Can a standing ovation be far away?
Thanks Jeff!
B.J.

Actually, B.J., Jeff is a notch above us lowly Moderators; he's both a Moderator AND an Administrator. And, I might add, he's very good at both jobs. He's definitely a major asset to this forum and it's a real pleasure working with him.Fallible wrote:Not only was it an outstanding meeting, it should be noted that, at the end, Jeff received two rounds of applause, the first for being largely responsible for that meeting (and recruiting first-rate help), the second for being one of the forum moderators who are largely responsible for running one of the best forums on the Internet.

Thanks for the note! I'd forgotten he's also an Administrator. The forum is indeed fortunate to have his skills and we MN Bogleheads are especially lucky he's from here.Mel Lindauer wrote:Actually, B.J., Jeff is a notch above us lowly Moderators; he's both a Moderator AND an Administrator.
