Cam,

I think discussion of a formal club net and a mutually-agreed-upon
communications facilitator would be a great thing to do at our next meeting
if Prez. Len is in agreement with putting it on the agenda.

Len initiated a fabulous discussion during our last meeting, and you came
up with a great, common sense suggestion for maximizing the club's efforts
and resources.  I look forward to the club working together as a unified
group on these topics.

I really like the cohesion our club currently has and look forward to
moving forward to great things!

Thanks,
Cindy
