[IMC-Tech] every group confirm!

[Sandra Ahten]

We are making a new brochure -- that we are going to try to have ready by 
this Saturday. Would every person who is now, or was the spoke for any IMC 
working group please check the info below (it is pulled straight from our 
web page)... update it and email the info back to me? Also please confirm to 
me that you are the empowered spoke of the group (or tell me that you are 
sort of the unofficial spoke for the group... and that you will be 
clarifying and getting consensus on who is the empowered spoke at your next 
meeting).

Also please indicate if you would be willing to have your meetings in the 
upstairs /mail area... so that the IMC can officially be "open" during your 
meeting time.

So appreciated if you could respond today or tomorrow.

Any questions... just email me.
Thanks, Sandra Ahten 217-367-6345
