It was gratifying to see a good size crowd and especially to see so many sign up on nomination forms for next year’s executive.

If you have any follow up to our conversations from yesterday, please reach out to me and I will follow up myself. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> To those who may have missed the meeting but would still like to consider a nomination, please let me know and we will get the form filled out.
