  Maybe I'm just picky, but I think meeting announcements should generally
include the date, time, and location of the meeting.  ;-)

  (Yes, I realize you mentioned MELBA, but one would have to know the
details about MELBA (like what it is), and their regular meeting schedule,
which is far from self-explanatory.)

  Is the following correct?  If it is, I will post it on the GNHLUG home
page (which anyone else can do, too, BTW).

  What : GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) 2.0
  Who  : Greg Rundlett
  Date : Wed 28 Apr 2004
  Time : Presentation at 7:30 PM (dinner starts around 6 PM)
  Place: Martha's Exchange, Nashua, NH

  (FWIW, I'm interested in the presentation, although I don't think I will
be able to make the Wednesday date.  Perhaps an encore presentation at one
of the other LUGs?)

  I'd say go for it.  We're frankly pretty short on time, but anything is
significantly better then nothing.

  If you've got it, use it.  :)

  Given GNHLUG meeting attendance over the past year or so, I highly doubt
we will have to worry about that.  :)
