Lunch:  Saturday 12:30 p.m. at Childe Harold - same site as the last two COHP lunches in Washington.

Location of the restaurant:  At Dupont Circle, one Metro stop from the Marriott, which is the location of the Saturday morning panel.  When you emerge from the Metro station at Dupont Circle, the Childe Harold is just across the street.   The address is 1610 Twentieth St. 

Issues for the business meeting:

We will have the usual issues to bring up at lunch, including next years panels for the meeting, which has been moved to Philadelphia from the originally announced San Francisco location..  We will probably again have two panels.

We also have another major issue to discuss which is the suggestion from a number of people that we work to become an organized section.
