MVMRUG January 28, 2005 Meeting

Our first meeting of 2005 was held in Columbus, Ohio, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Ohio state capitol.

NiSource hosted a delicious continental breakfast and we ate our lunch in the cafeteria. Additional beverages and cookies were served in the afternoon during speaker presentations. Once again, it was a great meeting (wonderful speakers, old friends, new friends and the opportunity to gain more knowledge)! We also had the privilege of meeting several new people who attended the meeting for the first time and it was a great time of sharing!

Location: NiSource, Columbus, Ohio

NiSource (formerly Columbia Energy Group Service Corporation), is located at 1600 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215 at the intersection of Dublin Road and Fifth Avenue. The accommodations were quite nice and a very special "thank you" is extended to NiSource for their hospitality.

Thursday Night Dinner & Social

"Cozymels" at Tuttle Crossing hosted our Thursday night dinner and social. The food was very good and the conversation was very enjoyable. If you like Mexican food, be sure to visit the restaurant the next time you are in Columbus. You won't be disappointed!
