Hi everyone --

Been lurking, but wanted to pick up on this point.

My wife and I have two small kids and we both have extremely hectic
jobs.  Thus, I have only made it to a small handful of monthly meetings.
  I would _love_ for there to be semi-regular lunches around town.  I
don't really know anyone in the LUG and would very much like to meet
folks.  The monthly meetings in the evening are usually just too hard
for me to get to, but I'm all about lunch meetings.  :-)
