Gatortailale April 26, 2006 Share April 26, 2006 It took 3 weeks to find out from Montgomery School system that none of the 4 high schools that would be reasonably accessible to our members are available. We will try to have next meeting in the MD area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
