Eric, What are the other BUSINESS topics for Thursday? I sent the list. What you see is what we have. Darlene: Apollo 13 Kevin: not ready with his topic Alex: Flash Gordon Howard: Status of Meet up Mike: Treasurer's report That's it, and that isn't even a half hour of stuff. Darlene probably won't make it Kevin isn't ready Alex's can wait for another night That leaves 2 minutes of Howard, and 2 minutes of Mike, if we wish to hear about this. That's my point. There isn't much to be discussed with the general members. Terri On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 1:09 PM, Eric Steinberg <eric@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi- > > > > #1.
