After suggestions from our mailing lists, the Greater Rockridge NCPC has decided to start its meetings 1/2 hour later, at 7:30 PM.  Several people have suggested this would give people time to have dinner before the meeting.  This change will begin with the November 13, 2014 meeting.  We've updated the Yahoo calendars, so the meeting reminders should show the new time.
