[Rfu-barnraising] IMPT from Kate

[katharan at prometheusradio.org]

As it turns out, Hannah and I cannot make it.  We were hoping that Petri
would represent us, and make the conference call superfluous.  Hopefully
he will be there in time.

There is no housing board. We decided that it was too expensive and
clunky--this happened over this list.

You need a housing coordinator--also, Transportation and Registration
point people.

We do, however, think that from now on weekly conference calls are a good
idea.  I can phone in on Weds evening meetings--weds is not good for
hannah, though.

>> One thing to note---this is not the type of legal knowledge that would

>> Please feel free to call on me.
