Hey Andrea,
Would you mind sending this blurb out to the list serve for me??



Attention General Body Members!

I hope you all had a great long weekend and enjoyed the surprise snow dumping!
Spring is in sight! :)

I need your help! We have 2 co-sponsorships that need approval REALLY soon. Due
to us not meeting this past Monday, the 21st, I coulnd't get word on any votes.
I would like to ask you guys to email me
your votes if you have taken one already, and if not, to vote on behalf of your
communities. These really need to get moved along and with the attendance
issues, they are lingering too long. So, I
have provided you with the information you should need to jog your memories of
which ones I am talking about!
