[Charlug] CharLUG - 2009 organizational meeting...01/03/09

[Bob Evans]

This meeting is 3 1/2 miles from the end of bus route 40X...

Unfortunately 40X is weekdays only. I WILL PICK UP any bus riders if they
can get to the end of Route 9 LOCAL...

That would be either the Park & Ride on Albemarle & Lawyers, or the WalMart
on Albemarle Road. I would prefer the Park & Ride...

My phone number is 704 628-6800...

-Bob
