[Wpfw-lsb] RE: Agendizing Matters for LSB Meetings

[Sarah Bittle]

Rob,
    I cannot answer all your questions, but will attempt to answer those I 
can.
    Up till now, the review of the agenda has been somewhat informal.  For 
the past two months, it has had to be.  As I've mentioned before, my father 
has been ill and I have had to take over his affairs.  The situation has 
calmed a bit now, but it meant that up until this month, I was often not 
able to get the agenda out until right before the meeting.  However, my plan 
for this month is that I will send out the agenda on Saturday, June 5th, at 
6 PM.  I'm going to make that my standard--the Saturday before the meeting, 
at 6 PM.  I will include agenda items that have been submitted to me before 
that date.  However, I want to also mention something.  It will not always 
be possible to include every agenda item suggested.  We are running behind 
on some very essential business matters.  We will need to get committee 
reports this time around.  We will need to have a brief GM report.  We will 
also get a report from the PNB meeting taking place on June 4,5 & 6 from our 
National Board Reps.  Finally, we have to put the attendence record straight 
for the March 16th meeting of the whole.  So the schedule is really packed.  
I would like very much to hear Mr. Waugh's presentation, and I think it will 
be very helpful to the board.  Can Mr. Waugh please give me a time estimate 
for how much time his presentation will need?  If it can be under 15-20 
minutes max, that would be very helpful.  Thank You,
