[Baypiggies] SVP-Meetup ...

[Bill Deegan]

Simeon,

That seems worthwhile.
Because though the name of the group has now been changed to baypriggies,
some people may have paid thinking baypiggies (the user group) was going to
start charging.
Ideally they'd ask meetup.com for a refund if that's the case, though as
you may have seen Glen has arranged a sponsor to refund (up to some limited
$ amount) those same people.
