AMRAD Meeting Space and BooyaSDR Meeting

[Samudra Haque]

Hi, according to the website, this is the current posted information about
Amrad meetings. Given traffic, and the possibility of meetings going
long/followed by a early dinner somewhere else, is there a possibility the
actual event could be held ... say 6:30 p.m., or 6:00-7:00 the third
thursday of each month  to make it simple ?

*Monthly meetings* are usually held on the second Thursday of each month,
starting at 7:30 PM at the Dolley Madison Library
<http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library/branches/dm/>, 1244 Oak Ridge
Avenue, McLean, VA. (Map and directions
