I went ahead and responded to Doug S's question about how the meeting went on Yahoo Groups. Since this forum hasn't been made public yet, and there are probably still people that read the Yahoo Group, even if they don't post there, getting information out that way is still a good idea. I thik we would all like to see more than six people in attendence, so if we can get the word out every way we can... Be that as it may, a copy of the Yahoo Groups msg is as follows:
Last Thursday's meeting went well. There were six of us in attendence and we discussed some possible club activities for the future, tossed a lot of ideas around, and came up with a challenge for next month- Bring the turned Christmas tree ornament of your choice and your thoughts on what you want to get out of the club. We'll show and tell the ornaments, and round table the ideas so that for 2009 we'll have an idea of what we want to accomplish. I believe ( but don't quote me on this) that nominations for 2009 officers will be made at the next meeting with elections being in January.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
