[Cagdu] seminars

[Robert Stigile]

Hello Tina and Ken,
I like that idea.
I have also been thinking, because we seem to have issues with 
the resolutions and our meeting, so I was thinking, about how we 
could arrange things, and if Mary is fine with this, how about 
having our annual meeting from 8:00 am to 10:00 am with 
registration at 7:30 am and then resolutions could be 10:00 to 
noon.
I think we should consider this and see what Mary thinks.
Thanks,

Robert Stigile
