I agree with Greg.
I had a great time. I enjoyed the movies and seeing the big layout of Lego
on the tables. I am going to try to get the big conference room again if
possible.
I was also very pleased with the turn out , and the appearance of a new
member. I hope everybody else had a good time.
I look forward to seeing you all at the end of the month.
Later
Rich
