[atlantaprog] Re: Attendance Policy for CJ's

      Thanks,  everybody for all the discussion!  This is way cool,  and 
valid points all!  All I'm saying with this policy is that getting <one 
person> from each band to show up <one day a month> is not that much to 
ask (and if it is too much to ask,  well,  I guess we'll find out pretty 
quick!!).  Is it really that much of a hardship to actually commit to 
this?  Really?!?  
      The door's open,  folks;  all we've got to do is walk in....
And that's all I'm saying...      : )

See you soon!
