It is time for the 2003 Neighborhood Dinners! Be sure to save Thursday, April 10, for everyone's favorite SLA activity - networking.
The Neighborhood Dinners debuted in April 1997, and have been a great success. If you haven't been to one, the idea is to allow members to gather in smaller groups than is possible at our monthly meetings, and to attend a dinner at a location convenient to their homes. A coordinator selects a restaurant, and interested members contact the coordinator directly. Please RSVP by April 1, 2003.

If you're feeling left out because you live in an area that's not covered by any of the groupings we've established and you'd like to organize a dinner, please let me know! We'd be delighted to add other locations if there's interest and someone willing to be the coordinator.
Watch for further information via the chapter reflector and web site.
