Thanks to all working on this. Someone asked who is on this list. The
current list is attached.
I think 50 to 75 is a good estimate. As noted at
https://miramonte1969.org/2019/, we had 95 people last time.
Various people are checking venues. I think it would be great to gather
information on possible venues and make notes at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15XdCSJe917NKaBpl39Sfh9faPD6BTVxkOu2mfU3wb4M/edit?usp=sharing
. We can then review this and make some decisions.
THANKS!
Harold
