Ladies and Gentlemen, I like the build up in ideas now coming from a cross section of concerned Westnilers. I totally agree with the idea of a core team or is it Taskforce. Could we have gender balance as earlier suggested by Fr. Ruffino and let it also take a westnile character right from the beginning to avoid our other brothers and sisters seeing themselves as outsiders?? Can I also suggest that we therefore talk of a number that can encapsulate this character, say 11 or thereabouts? Remember alot of commitment by memebers will be what counts and I should also add that without the financial sacrifices from some members of the task force we can not expect to move fast. This should therefore constitute persons ready to undertake their responsibilities whatever the case.
We might want to consider this as an important point if frustration is not our middle name. The taskforce should learn to communicate via less expensive channels like we are now engaged in and funding hurdles will not be so many to jump. Thank you and I so far agree with the four or so names suggested. Ejiku. On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 10:34 PM, ezatirale george <[email protected] > wrote: > Dear Fr.
