I will post reminders here but please send an e-mail to atlantabogleheads at {Google's e-mail service} if you'd like to be added to the e-mail list.

Hi Steph,

Is it in the same location as last time?

Thanks for the update!

Yes. I will send an e-mail tonight with all the details.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the last meeting! I just realized that we neglected to select a topic for the next meeting. Feel free to post any suggestions here or e-mail me at atlantabogleheads at {Google's e-mail service}.

The next gathering will be held Saturday, April 8. Location and time are TBD. We are going with a slightly different approach and this will be a social rather than a typical meeting. Of course, we will talk finances but that's not the primary objective. I'm thinking a potluck brunch unless the majority prefer meeting at a restaurant.

Just found the board and I obviously missed the meet up in April. Any plans for the next gathering?

Thanks.

Is there anyone who is willing to take over as the coordinator for the Atlanta group? I recently started a new job which requires more business travel so life has gotten busy for me.

Steph,

Congratulations on your new job.

I would suggest sending an email to the group. I don't know how often everyone checks to see if people are replying to this thread.

Our last meeting was on 2018-01-27, from 10:00 to 13:00, at 4 Rivers Smokehouse, 822 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.

We discussed the backdoor Roth IRA, and tips about improving residential energy efficiency (water, electricity, lighting, heating, cooling).

Probably we will meet every one or two months.

I'm interested in joining the ATL BH's as well. I can't make June 23, but perhaps the next one will work out for me.

[chloroplast]

Would anyone like to be the new coordinator for Atlanta Bogleheads?

(This August, I will probably start attending school full-time.)

Coordinating involves:

1. Scheduling speakers for meetings.
2. Scheduling venues (such as restaurants) for meetings.
3. Announcing meetings on a mailing list and this thread.

If you are interested, please email atlantabogleheads at gmail dot com.

Thank you.

Winston
