Thank you, Dalorion, for posting this! Another nomination:

Secretary - Chris W? (he was more interested in making a web site including wiki, etc along with Shirley, they may be more interested in a web site committee than the secretarial duties). Chris?

I would like to add a nomination:

Chair - Seth Lewis

I also apologize for not posting this earlier. I could have done it just as easily.

Next planning meeting is Tuesday June 12 at my house.
