Hello everyone,
it is coming to be that time of the year again when we have our Annual Meeting. One of the few elements which is required from the membership is to supply the PrePlanning Committee with a list of names of people that they would like to see as potential guests or each of the conventions. If everyone could please put together a list of 5 names or each project with a ranking of 1 – 5, it would be appreciated. Please list people as first pick, second and so on and so forth. If you do not know the first thing about one of the projects and are uncomfortable making suggestions, then please do not make any for that project.

Thank you and I look forward to getting teh results at the May meeting so they can be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Attendees: Megan Daly, Pat McCauley, Robin Buskirk, Bryon Stump, Josh Elliott, Lindsay Elliott, Jenny Todd, Christine Cromwell, David Leach, Marty Milder
