Hello,
I am new to this group and as of yet I do not have a handle on the conversation. I thought there was a meeting yesterday at 9 but obviously I could not locate the destination. Tomorrow there is a meeting at 11 am and I would like to attend in order to get a better picture of how I can contribute, however, as of now I do not have the location. HELP.
