I've recently been made a moderator/manager of the DMSFS Chat on Google Groups.

If you are wanting to get on the DMSFS Chat or want a different email address to be used for the chat, please contact me at the usual email.

Thanks!

TGIF everyone.  Well,  the storm yesterday was not quite as bad as we expected.  The meeting/Chili-Cookoff scheduled for tonight at the Eastgate Masonic Lodge (2501 E. Grand) is a go.  We will not be at the West Des Moines Community Center. We look forward to seeing folks at the meeting tonight.  Please remember to be safe as you travel today.
