Be sure to check out the web site.  There is much that is new - pictures from the last meeting, a discussion board that allows for posting of information and questions.  I have also added a page that has a shorter URL that does a redirect to the site.  www.proinnovation.com/dko.  The other address (http://www.proinnovation.com/dunes-kzoo-orchid) is still valid.
