Very Important Detail..

We are discussing this for probably 2009. Probably NOT this year. The 
chapter is in no way shape or form ready to move forward with something 
in the 2008 mid-winter season, and we have to get our ducks in a row if 
we want to do something in the spring or fall of 2008. The initial 
discussion was for midwinter to mid spring 2009.

However.. the initial/tentative interest is refreshing, guys,.. We will 
get the ball rolling.
Dave.
