Recap of HNG Meeting of August 5, 2011:
Our 58th meeting of HNG had 19 people, this is 10 less than the previous meeting, and one signed the New Member list. Barbara McKee was our facilitator. There were five introduction speeches.

Our speaker, Gail Greenberg, cancelled on Thursday because she was not feeling well, so we went to Plan B and conducted an interview question workshop, which, as always, went over very well.
