Any ideas on this? For example, broaden our bi-monthly meetings? Have our website be a central calendar or place where people can post their issues? We need to make sure that if we make offers like this that we have the resources and time to fulfil the commitments. Please let’s have a dialogue by e-mail before Wednesday among the executive on this matter.<br><br></b><br>On other updates, I have been working with the people in Brant County on pulling together a joint meeting in January. It looks like we will be meeting on a Tuesday.
