Ted, Ron, and Adrienne are correct.  I apologize for the confusion.  I
meant both APRIL meetings would be in Virginia, and so would the First
Friday meeting in May.  This was reflected in our calendar of upcoming
events at http://www.wsfa.org/calendar.htm

(I removed the mention of the First Friday meeting in May after I
returned from that meeting last night.  Malice Domestic is still
mentioned, since it isn't over yet.)

(Would there be any interest in a calendar of *downgoing* events?  I
do save all the old entries, but don't make them publicly viewable,
mainly since I don't want to have to keep updating the links in them,
which tend to go stale very quickly.  This would be easy if folks
don't mind stale links.)

The calendar is correct.  The May and June meetings will be in their
usual locations.  There has as yet been no discussion of this month's
Fifth Friday, or of our Fourth of July meeting.  (The last time First
Friday fell on July 4th, our meeting was combined with the picnic at
the Fabulous Bungalow.)

As Ron points out, I have a list for announcing the location and
directions to upcoming meetings.  This list is meant for new people
who email me asking for directions.  (It includes directions for car,
bike, foot, subway, bus, and ICBM (GPS coordinates).)  Ron is on it
since he asked to remain on it.  I'd be glad to add anyone else to it.

The April 9th message, unlike the April 27th message, went to this
list.  And it did mention the correct location of last night's meeting.

I'm open to suggestions for how to prevent such confusion in the
future.  Should I post meeting reminders to this list?  If so, how
far in advance?  Or would it just be annoying clutter?  Thanks.

I tend to be *very* careful about meeting locations, as it takes me
three hours to walk the ten miles to the Gillilands, and almost that
long to get, via Metro, to the Ginters.  I haven't yet shown up at the
wrong location.
