Howdy all,
Sorry to have been incommunicado so long. I've been very busy doing some UFO related travelling both to London England and Southern California. Because of these trips I've missed the past couple of MUFON meetings and unfortunately, there was no space available at either the Austin History Center nor the Old Quarry Library Branches for last month's June meeting. So I've decided to compose this little informational as an interim report until this month's meeting.
In the meantime, here is a list of this years remaining scheduled Austin MUFON meetings to be held at the Austin History Center downtown in the O'Henry room every fourth Saturday:
-July 24th, 1-4 pm
-August 28th, 1-4 pm
-September 25th, 1-4 pm
-October 23rd, 1-4 pm
-November 21st, 1-4 pm
-December 25th, CLOSED for Holidays
Our intended alternative meetings/speakers venue, FringeWare Bookstore on Guadalupe, has unfortunately run into financial problems as well as recent hacker attacks against their web site. When they find another venue they will notify us for our continued use of them as a public presentation spot for ufo authors and researchers. http://www.fringeware.com
