[Arizona-students] Big Surf

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hey Allison,

Though there was a resurgence of public transit on Sundays for awhile, it is 
reverting back to less availability in some parts of the valley again. 
Alas, I fear, you guys are going to have to settle on Saturday in order to 
permit the largest number of people to be able to participate.  Some of you 
may also want to consider hitting up friends and/or family members to help 
with driving.  Just one of the many realities here in the Phoenix area.

I think we need to accept that pretty much anything we do on a Saturday will
conflict with a chapter meeting.  I'm not thrilled with the below
implication that the East Valley meetings are any more important than other
chapter meetings.  That said, Aug 4 would be fine with me.  I'd also suggest
that we could perhaps go to the water park on a Sunday.  If they are open
then of course.  That way, we wouldn't have any conflict with chapter
meetings.

Just my thoughts,

Allison
