RE: Board stuff (or is that bored stiff?)

["Frangooles, Bob" <bob.frangooles@attws.com>]

I don't think we should change the November board meeting.  I spoke to at
least one gentleman who was planning on attending, so unless we have a good
method to mass notify, it wouldn't be prudent to change at this point. When
I said I didn't have a problem I was assuming that this would be for
meetings starting after the current month.

I already don't do anything.

Bob
