Team,

Let's keep to this coming Sunday and work with whomever shows, otherwise
we'll become tangled in the holiday season.  We can use the session to set
some goals for 2007.

Thank you!

Hey - I like it. Seems you've worked it out fairly well. Let's not lose
sight of the purpose - THE JUDGES! So Kim doesn't play well with others, the
rest of us do. Norman's as an after thought did not go over well, seems all
those gold medals around their necks don't mean much in Houston.
Linda

See ya Friday

Hi All,

Sept 9th works for me if we can't do the 27th of August. I agree with
Kim that trying to hold a meeting during the comp won't work.
Sandi

Thank you Catherine.

Iceland is already having meetings at SIC on the 27th, so while comvenient, that could make for a lenghty afternoon. 

How about the 9th or 10th Sept?
