Iam decretum est! Sexto die mensis Maii Bellinghamiae conveniemus ad varia iucunda Latine loquentes facienda! Vndecima fere hora cum quadrante apud popinam Colophonem incipiemus. Bellinghamienses, ut hospites nobis atque, ut ita dicam, deliciarum arbitri, cetera agenda constituent et curabunt.
Praecepta eis qui una mecum aliisque “meridianis” Bellinghamiam petent:
Qui die sexto e meridie proficiscentur nona hora cum dodrante in illa interversantium area stativa Lynnwoodiana congrediemur quae ad Viam 164 et iuxta Iter 5 sita est. Ex Itinere 5 exite ad Viam 164, sinistrorsum sive ad occidentem versus flectite, dein, postquam per viaeductum Iter 5 transieritis, in Viam Fraxini, sive “Ash Way” dextrorsum flectite. Cum primum licuerit iterum dextrorsum flectite in aream stativam. Deinde statim bis sinistrorsum flectite. Scilicet nos in areae angulo meridiano et occidentali, sive “meridioccidentali” conveniemus atque inter vehicula nostra distribuemur. Decima hora viam capessemus. Vndecima fere hora cum quadrante nos ad Colophonem popinam perventuros esse exspecto.
In proximum! Valete!

Greetings, Northwestern Latin Speakers!
It's all decided now! We’ll be getting together on the 6th in Bellingham to do lots of fun things! We’ll be starting off at the Colophon Café at around 11:15. Our Bellinghamian friends, as our hosts and, as it were, our deliciarum arbitri, will be in charge of what we do afterward.
Directions for those riding with me and the other “southerners”:
So those who will be heading up from the south on the 6th should gather at 9:45 at the park-and-ride that’s located near the intersection of I-5 and 164th in Lynnwood. Exit I-5 at 164th and turn left, i.e., west; then, after you cross over I-5, turn right onto Ash Way. Turn right at the first opportunity into the park-and-ride; then immediately make two lefts. We’re meeting in the southwest corner of the lot. We’ll get on the road at 10:00. I expect that we’ll arrive at the Colophon Café by 11:15 or so but possibly a little after.
Stephanus
