Lori and I received this from Rick this morning, so thought I would
forward it to the group so that we all see it. It discusses many of the
issues we decided on last night.
I will be posting an overall message later this morning outline the
Steering Committee meeting last night intermixed with my response to Rick.
I will also list the people who have volunteered for the overseers of the
different events/changes that will be taking place.
Thanks for the support and assistance.
Jerry

>please let me know" and "currently rounding up volunteers." Even this may be
>a bit much. We need a mechanism in place so we can identify who is doing
>what and how to get in touch with them. Right now a person that is not
>currently involved with the LBS has no way finding out who is doing what or
>who to ask for more information or how to volunteer. I suggest that we come
>up with a well written article about the LBS. This is what the general
>population will see when they look it up on the calendar. Then list the
>areas of interest and who is running them and how to contact them.
>EXAMPLE:
>For addition information or if you wish to help please contact:
>Advertising Jerry Kubeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>Speakers Lori Hitchcock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>NHCTC Facility Rick Petree [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>Promotions Some Body [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>Etc
>Etc
>We can advertise a point of contact in case someone wants to help or has any
>questions. In order to keep everyone updated someone should be asked to be
>the point of contact in which every group leader sends them an update every
>Friday. This person complies the list and sends it out to the GNHLUG ORG
>every Saturday providing an up date as to the exact status of what is going
>on. This way we don't have to track hundreds of pieces of email and make a
>wrong assumption of who is doing what and what is already done. Also others
>could review the list a hopefully catch any holes in our plans or provide
