4-27-12  This week was the 4th meeting of the Election 2012 Group.  Again 15 people met, but a different 15 as some were absent and some were new.  The format of breaking into 3 groups was maintained with each group giving a summary at the end of the meeting, and the length of the meeting has been held to 1 hour.  The groups have identified goals, prioritized actions, and are beginning to work on implementation.  But they could use many more members to attend with their thoughts, ideas,…
