I just wanted to let you know that we will be meeting at Midwinter and would love for you to come. I have requested room space between 1:30 and 3:30 on Sunday, but I don't know our specific time or room. Please keep us in mind as you plan! Those who serve on working groups, it would be great if someone could give a report on what you've been working on. If no one from your working group will be attending, please send me an informal written report.
