[TXHUG] Feedback Needed on First TXHUG Organizational Meeting

[Dr. Linda F. Prosperie]

Hi Amy,

We at the University of Texas Center for Space Research have NO travel money.  
My suggestion is to have the meeting in a city where the majority of TxHUG 
members are located and have the other members call in.  Those that do have the 
money can attend in person.  We should all review the material to be discussed 
prior to the meeting.

Best regards,

Linda
