I was rather planning, probably about a few days or so before the third Tuesday in December, to put out an "announce" item reminding folks that there's no December meeting. We can also use that announcement to promote the January meeting.
Of course we'll want to announce/remind folks about the January meeting in early January ... like about the 2nd or so.
I think if we put out "announce" type items from 3rd Tu in Dec. through about Jan. 1st, may folks will get distracted and forget anway. I'd be inclined to just do a bit before 3rd Tu in Dec., and then nothing again until Jan. 2nd, or a hair later.
Quoting Andrew Fife afife@untangle.com:
Balug Volunteers:
I just received an RSVP for Balug's December meeting. I replied directly back to the person explaining that there was not December meeting but encouraging them to attend our January meeting an letting them know about a couple other LUGs that are meeting this month.
I think that we should mention on our talk & announce lists that there is no meeting this month. Any objections? If not, I'll do this in the next day or two.
