Good afternoon everyone,

Thank you all for coming to the meeting last night.  There was a great dynamic group - graphic designers, marketing/business professionals, students, etc -  participated with diverse discussion.

I also appreciate for your positive feedback on yesterday's workshop.  It was my greatest pleasure hosting the event and facilitating discussions for enthusiastic people.

Just a few reminders:

Looking for a new venue: We have been very fortunate that Mr. Ian Graham, the owner of The CodeFactory, let us use the space for our meetings over the last few years. As of April 1st, they will be moving to another location (100 Gloucester St) for expanding its capacity.  Even though its new space has larger footage than that of the current space, it lost a wide open event space due to a stationary partition wall…  With this turn of event, we've been looking for a new venue.  Once I found a suitable venue for our meetings, you will be informed.  In a meanwhile, please do let me know if you have any suggestions.

No meeting on March 27th: There will no meeting on next Wednesday the 27th of March.

That's it for now, and many thanks for coming to the meeting last night. It was fun as always!
