This is the first ever Interim Administration Unit meeting. We decided that the meeting should start at 7:07pm on July 7 for no good reason. We picked a new venue for the meeting. No more City Hall Maxim or someone’s home, but a place called Texas Burger, something Texan for a Texas alum meeting.

Our Thanksgiving Dinner happened on December 6, Saturday. This year we moved our dinner to Grappa’s Cellar in Central where people can enjoy some live jazz music played by the band in the restaurant.
