I'll be glad to work up a program if you need a volunteer. If I'm not mistaken, the programs for
this year were based on member responses to the survey the education committee sent out - and
that didn't really address the Internet much. But if we can show that there is a need for more
information - and also what type we feel the need for - maybe some of us who are mostly internet
based can get something together.
