Dipak, Great idea (as was the one that Al (?) floated a few weeks back--the one about giving the President an honorary club membership)! I don't know that you need a second. As with most things in the MHBA, just spearhead the idea if you get a little buy-in. I doubt that Obama will meet with us, but if he did, that would be pretty cool! Not too many homebrew clubs can say that they entertained a President. Unless there is opposition to the idea, then please go ahead and see what it takes to invite the President to a meeting (you could say that there's going to be a meeting the day that he's in MN). As I mentioned, when someone in the club proposes an idea, the leadership says, "Great!--Make it so and let us know what assistance you need." Thanks, John Personal. Professional.

So, do I hear a second??
