The next Northwest Killies meeting will be on January 12, 2008, at the home of Kit Stowell.

Kit's address is:

722 NW 80th St.
Vancouver, WA 98665

Directions: You can use online maps to find the address but we'll post directions soon. Kit's place is convenient for members from both OR and WA.

The meeting will start around noon. As befits tradition, Kit will serve his wonderful turkey dinner. You won't want to miss this meeting for that reason alone.

This will be our first major organizational meeting for WCW XVII so we hope to see everyone there.

Location:
Round Table Pizza

near I-580 and the Castro Valley BART station.

We'll meet at the area next to the soda machines inside the restaurant. (The larger meeting room was already booked by a larger party).

Time:
7 pm to 10:30 pm

Program: DVD of Don Greig' talk titled"Live Foods in Useful Amounts".

We'll also be trying out a "pub quiz" contest. I'll project some slides and you'll try to figure out the correct answers. The one who gets the most answers correct will take home a prize!
