RE: Email for Kathy: Plant auction followup question about specia l interest group (fwd)

I think so, they have already been meeting on their own and were trying to 
figure out if they wanted to join us or not.
Probably depends on where the board meeting is, if they want to come, and 
if so they should be the first item on the agenda so that if they want to 
leave right afterwards they can, or we can always talk with them after a 
general meeting or before as well.
