We want to show everyone all the things that need to be
done. However, members will be assigned to activity teams based on responses
to the survey, and Doreen’s follow up as a “first cut”. We would like to
verify the individual’s interest at the May 20 meeting. Below we have listed
all the things that need to be done. Specific items that we need to start
on now are underlined. Please review the activities and note ones that
are of particular interest to you. Thanks!
