When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Don't forget the ACAC has an early meeting this month, to make a reasonable break before the really early December, year-end, solsticy, Christmas - take your pick, or insert som'at else - dinner meeting on Dec. 12. Let Ron, or this page, know your dinner intentions a.s.a.p. so that we can inform the Brothers to be appropriately ready. (Dinner individually paid, off menu, but subsidized a modicum by the ACAC.)
