Events Coil: March 12 - May 2

As far as we know, all events we list are open functions; but some may be limited to women or to adults and some may require that you notify them that you plan to attend. Please check the websites for group policies. If no country is given, the event is in USA. All times local. Times for computer/Internet/Web events are given for the place of origin. Events lasting more than 1 day are bolded. When listing events for the same date we have tried to list those that occur first, taking into account time zone differences. If there is a difference between our listings and the listings on the link, assume their web page is correct as details may have changed since we listed from it. Ongoing events are listed after the dated events. The next Events Coil is planned for mid-April and will include events listed here that haven't yet happened, plus new events through late May. If you have an event you want listed, please leave info as a comment. See the end of this Coil for what info we need for listings.

(Update: April 6. After we made an addition to an April event and republished this, all the lines ran together. Apparently a blogspot/blogger problem, we concluded after trying to fix it several times and visiting the "help" section and seeing posts from others having the same problem. Sorry. Hopefully it will be fixed by next month's Events post.)
