We meet the third Saturday of the month. Our normal meeting place is the San Jose History Park. In good weather, we meet near the bandstand. When the weather is inclement, we meet in the XYZ room, in the same building as the ice cream shop. Occasionally, we cannot meet at the park, so we will meet elsewhere.
