The one in Milton can be deleted - she hasn't hosted a meeting in about 2 years or so, doesn't answer emails.

Karen, maybe the Milton meetings are still being held but in a different dimension...(music from Twilight Zone)

Surprised they went on for as long as they did with all the comments about how much work it was. LOL 

 The  Hamilton meeting changed locations about a year ago and is now in the east end.  Erin is still the contact person and can provide the current address.

Here's the link to Bev's profile for the most current list. She suggested using this for the newbie wiki because it will always  be the most current.

Edited to add the link - d'ah!!
