[olug] OLUG Luncheon Change Discussion

[Joseph Gulizia]

My problem is that I'm 1/2 hour east of Council Bluffs and it's difficult to do @ 11:30. But I wouldn't expect my dilemma to interfere with others that have a more flexible schedule

I know a handful of folks who would love to pick up the whole lunch tab, if they can pass out a few biz cards.
