[Imc-bigmuddy] cities list- schedule a meeting!

[Jennifer Killham]

Amen! (In the most nonreligious way possible!)

I agree with Treesong about why getting on the cities
list is important. I think it is absolutely necessary
to get on the cities list. 

I, too, want to have a meeting. So, let's pick a date
and time and location. Any suggestions?
