[SBU Board] Hospitality event for San Diego

[Ann Romeo]

I agree about the facebook thing-lots don't use it or very very rarely.

We'll working on the space (Karen Hudesman is helping!), and Brian Z's
assistant at the Sophia has sent us several possibilities.  Karen is
vetting....
Stay tuned.
We'll keep our commitment to $200.  Again, using it to buy snacks at
the venue, and the attendees will buy their own drinks.
