[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] Discussion Night at 7pm Wed, 27 Feb 2019 in the Community Room at Bread&Roses

[Ellen Papenburg]

The weather is going to be bad. A lot of cancellations of other meetings,
so Jim and I both will be there tonight,  but.... Do you still want to
meet?

Let us know,

Ellen
