Hello everyone,

I wanted to both e-mail and post to the Blog the notes from our meeting to be sure you-all received them today but, I can't figure out how to copy the e-mail to the Blog so, check your e-mail for the notes.

I've got some follow-up questions:

Tim, re: your recruiting Sarah Long, Ken Gross and Shirley Mae Byrnes to sign testimonial letters. Are the letters being written and if so, are they doing the writing? If we're doing the writing, will one draft work for all three or do we need to draft individual letters for each? And if the latter, would you like help?

Kristy, re: Reaching Forward North and South. Do you need help staffing the booths? Have the RF people given you any ideas on what incentives they'd like?

Jocelyn and Amy, please keep us posted on how it's going with recruiting testimonial signers for your respective areas. If you need help drafting letters, please ask.

Kim, I'll be in touch with you concerning our approaching the Board about:
Lowering dues for students.
Can we ask vendors for money to create a travelling promotional item.
A prize for the member who recruites the most new members - either conference hotel or registration.
Suggesting students who volunteer to work the conference registration desk be given a free registration to the conference.
Providing a prize/incentive for continuing members at 5 yrs, 10 yrs, etc.

Everyone, How are we doing at this point? Is there anything else we need to discuss now?

Thanks -- lad
