· A. Reached out to ANGEL PARK regarding the previously mentioned LVJBS Golf outing on either 11/5 or 11/6, with possible music afterwards.
· B. Was contacted by CUBENSIS regarding the previously discussed Legends Lounge/Grateful Family Reunion. (We think the spring event would be best, yet Cubensis is looking for a November date due to an AZ date of 11/5 falling through: The SandDollar is booked—They shared offers plus lodging/meals.) Discussed the concerns or the possible Angel Park Golf Outing being on 11/5 daytime & the ‘Grateful Dead Meet-up at the Movies’ being on 11/5 afternoon and the busy Tecopa happening directly after. (Meeting members are aiming for the original spring-MARCH date instead.)
