<div dir="ltr">Hi Fred-
<div><br></div>
<div>I don't think the list has had an install fest for many years, or
meetings that I know of.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A few months back my employer (35w & 494) granted us meeting
space, so I am open to following up, if one is organized.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If that doesn't work, I suggested looking at the Wellstone Center
<a href="http://wellstonecenter.com/" target="_blank">http://wellstonecenter.com/</a> </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I hear they serve food, have free parking and wifi...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>SDA</div>
