Eric,

I think you may have come in an iteration or two too late in the Old 
North email list to know the story. I was simply reacting to a 
message from Laura Cole-Rowe on this topic.

You can either search the Old North email archives to get the earlier 
messages or, better, contact Laura since the state of play may be 
different than it was a couple of weeks ago when this began.

A I understand it from Laura, the owners of the property to which you 
refer want now to name it. Perhaps they will, perhaps they will not. 
The starting candidate name was Sweet Briar (which is the name of a 
rose and has no meaning in Davis history).

Cheers, John

P.S. I have not received an agenda for an Old North meeting, so I do 
not understand your reference in your first sentence. So far as I am 
aware, no Old North meeting is scheduled at this time. But, perhaps I 
do not get relevant emails or door-drops.

Subject: [OldNorth] meeting notices
Message-ID: <p05210600bbdee06229a4@[10.0.1.2]>

Angela and everyone,

I think that door drops may not be the best method of giving notice 
of meetings.

This IS the 21st century. Perhaps we could use email? Or the US Postal Service?

Further, I think paid-up members  deserve a more reliable way of 
knowing about meetings than tiny slips of paper at exposed fronts of 
houses that may or may not actually get delivered.

Agenda posting on the web site would also help.

Thanks.

John
