Region 11 Annual Meeting

The annual meeting will be held on June 29^th at 9:30 a.m.  

The restaurant we have been using the last two years has gone out of business and we needed a new location.  Jeff Gilbertson generously offered to host the meeting at Diede Construction, Inc.  Their offices are located at 12393-H Highway 99, Lodi, California.  Jeff describes the location as the northwest corner of Hwy 99 at the Armstrong Road exit.  

The meeting will follow the usual format with selection of trial dates to occur at the conclusion of our usual business meeting.  The plan is to cater a lunch at his offices.  If anyone has any suggestions that they would like added to our agenda, please send them my way. - Tom Griffin (tngriffin@grunskylaw.com)
