I'm terribly sorry for the mixup everyone with regards to today's meetup not happening. We had it set out until late yesterday and it's quite unfortunate that an update wasn't posted on the list. We hoped to have had our board meeting before that which hasn't happened, with that said, the Board wi

I second Branton. Even if its just an informal cup of tea somewhere to clear the air and create channels to work out differences in house, it makes sense for the board members to come together and establish commo ground before the September 8th meeting. It's really depressing as a new member t

Hi David, That is a good way. If that is the case (Board meeting before 8th) Then I will attend. Just so you know, it was not Oscar who disrupted the last meetup and I do not question his concerns because I beleive they are genuine. Secondly, if Oscar is aware that there is going to be a board meet
