Please accept my deepest apologies for having to move this meeting. I ran into technical difficulties, had an incident at work, had to wrap up some work tasks for an upcoming audit, had to wrap up some roof repairs from an ice dam last year, and left for my honeymoon. Getting everything done has been unusually difficult, and I apologize for my lack of professionalism. I assure you that this has been the exception, not the rule, so your patience is appreciated. If everyone could work on spreading the word about the group between now and the 23rd, it would be a huge help. Additionally, if you could think of ways to grow the group, gain sponsors, and think about topics you would like to hear about or present this year, that would help the meeting be more synergistic.

I look forward to meeting on the 23rd, and again, I apologize for the issues with the group thus far.
