Folks, Nolu and I have consulted and have decided to hold off on the big meet-up until more people can attend. Since renting was contingent on having a lot of people, many of them from out of town, we have decided against it was too expensive for our needs.
Because I know the place, and know its safe, we are going to use the Beatley Library dog park ("my dog park"). I've sent PMs to the people Nolu told me have confirmed. If you are planning to come on April 5 and have not gotten a PM, PM me and I'll send you directions. Thanks!
