folks came to see what we were about.
Welcome to those who joined.

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)
