That is what we usually do when there is no presentation, and then I
extend the event by an hour to compensate.<br>

Speaking about general users groups, I am working on getting the
Pittsburgh area computer club to join forces with us.<br>

</span>Keep in mind though, (while it is nice) you don't
need to have everything 100% nailed down to send out
advanced notice. The only things that are really necessary
are a room reservation and someone to open the door/welcome
people.<br>
<br>
If you decide that 2 weeks advance notice is the goal, and
not everything is nailed down by the 2 week deadline, I
think it would be acceptable to send out a 2-weeks-advance
announcement saying something like "There will be a WPLUG
meeting on xxx 00, 2015. Details of the presentation are
still being worked out" or whatever details you have
confirmed by that point.<br>
