Officer meeting – 8/18/07

Last Saturday we had our first SLIM-OR SCALA officers meeting. Minutes from the meeting can be found here.

We are still at the stage of figure out what this group should be. Anybody out there with ideas about what they want SCALA chapter to be for them, please let us know.

Thanks,
Michael (one of your humble webmasters)

Pictures

As you can see, there are some photos showing up in the sidebar of this blog. If anyone out there has any SLIM-OR related photos that should show up, we want them. If you are a Flickr.com user, you can just add the photos to the “esuscalaor” Flickr group and they should show up. If not, e-mail them to me (mbraunha at emporia) and I’ll put them up.

Hope everybody is having a good break,

- Michael
