Daylight Savings Time!
In case you actually look at the website for meeting times, you should know that all the meetings have suddenly switched from 7:30 - 8:30 to being from 9:30 to 10:30. That is not the case, and the sudden change likely has something to do with the wonkiness that is the new DST issues that are runnig rampant. So...just know, the meetings are always at 7:30, and we send reminders. So get on the list by joining the website!
