Today's meeting is very important, and I encourage everyone who is able to attend to do so. This will be our last meeting at the Sprint campus, and we need to decide where to move the club. There are four options on the table:

1. Move the club to St Joseph Hospital (I-435 & State Line).
2. Join the Big Blue club at the IBM campus.
3. Move our club as is to the IBM campus.
4. Move the club to the United Methodist Church at 151st and Metcalf.

We will further discuss these options at the meeting and decide which way to go.
