Well I for one hope an IMC happens in Bloom/Norm that would be great!
I am with Springfield IMC and we are still working to that goal
ourselves, as for a get together i hadn't heard of one but would like
to go if there is one. Please keep us in mind. I will forward this
message to the Springfield IMC list just so those on that list are 
aware.  In solidarity, Duane. Springfield IMC
