Meeting is on for this Sunday! Re: [statecom] definition of quorum?????

[Ron Francis]

Thanks David for stepping up and putting int he extra time to pull this Statecom meeting together....I don't remember if the last physical statecom meeting took the responsibility of making sure that someone takes responsibility for planning the next statecom but we should rememebr to do that ... as we done in the past.
   
  I hope I can attend by cell speakerphone for some of the statecom, but if not I will try to get someome to carry the ball on the proposal that I submitted regarding calling all of the party members for interest in municipal elections in 2007.
   
  Ron

Statecom members down from 32 (or 33) to 31. - David
