Chapter Meeting Announcement

Our regularly scheduled, 2nd Thursday (Feb. 14, 2008) meeting has been rescheduled to the 3rd Thursday (Feb. 21, 2008). This was to avoid any conflict with Valentines Day, the reservation scheduling of our usual Italian eatery, and any potential scheduling conflicts with the Significant Other.

The February meeting for the San Joaquin Valley Chapter of the California Land Surveyor's Association will be held on Thursday, February 21, 2008, at 6:30 pm, at Andiamo Ristorante Italiano, 1275 Shaw Ave, Clovis, CA. We will have a presentation by John Dodson of SJV Technology on their new software, "The Floodplain Surveyor" (http://www.floodpd.com/). John has been developing this software to help surveyors with the task of performing, and completing, the FEMA Elevation Certificates. The software is nearly complete (beta testing) and he is looking for input from the surveying community to "fine-tune" it to a surveyor's real world needs. Come take a look and tell him what you think.

Also of note: Andiamo's raised their large group prices at the beginning of the year. That'll mean a few dollars more for us, but they're not charging us for the room, like most places would, which is a substantial savings for the Chapter. All meals include bread, salad, and a non-alcoholic drink. The full menu that has been offered to us can be found at: http://www.sjvclsa.org/AndiMenu.htm
