June 10th Meeting: Open Discussion

Hello Fellow Pumpers!

Join us for our Monday, June 10th meeting. You can attend either in-person or via Zoom. 

In person. We will hold the in-person meeting at the Sharp Spectrum Building in Kearny Mesa at 8695 Spectrum Center Drive from 7–9 pm. We will meet in the boardroom off the main lobby. The room will be open at 6:30 pm for visiting before the meeting. The main entrance is locked at 6 pm so security will buzz us in through the side door off the lobby.

Via Zoom. Please join us via Zoom if you can't attend in person. The meeting link is posted below.  

As always, significant others, friends, and family supporters are welcome at the meeting.

Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month.
