[cayugabirds-l] Moving the Christmas Count Date Earlier

Moving the Christmas Count earlier would certainly make it impossible for us and many local families to participate--there are too many conflicting required school or work, or other social events the two weeks before Christmas. In addition, the compilation dinner would not be well-attended,
