[tei-council] TE Council Meeting in April.

[Martin Holmes]

Looks like Logan would be cheaper. Flying to Green adds about $150 to 
the fare for me, and although Green is only ten miles from Brown, 
according to the RI transportation site I would need to walk for 36 
minutes from the airport to catch a bus to the campus. It looks much 
easier to get in from Logan.

Cheers,
Martin
