Especially good for new LAN members working to understand the planning 
process.

City can't provide lunch (too complicated, apparently, to add a few 
sandwiches and charge us) so lunch is on your own.

Hope lots of people can attend. Scott was happy to hear that LAN members 
were interested in attending.
