Anitra -- I volunteered to be Member Services Chair because
I think that getting people to feel ownership of SCNA is crucial
to its future.  I've also felt that we need to have some better
way to communicate with our users/members.  

I'm really pleased that you are putting these issues out for
discussion.  

There has been talk of an online newsletter -- and maybe this could
be incorporated into it.  I'd prefer this to having it stand 
alone -- there is a lack of communication going * both * ways.

Anitra -- are you suggesting we might be myopic, arrogant 
bureaucrats?  People who start out doing good works often slide
into that mode -- but I don't think we are quite there yet.
Of course, we are always the last to know.
