Folks,                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                                    

We welcome many new people to the group and do hope that many (or at least some of you) will be increasingly active in organizing and runnig MWT events.  In preparation to the upcoming planning meeting, I am posting our MD guidelines in hope y'all give serious consideration to becoming one or at least assisting at one of the 2010 events.

 

(note: phone numbers are hidden onthe public forum for privacy reasons but will of course be available to those who decide to step up to the plate)

 

Thanks, Michael
