Minutes:

The web site is at http://www.proinnovation.com/dunes-kzoo-orchid and now has an initial design - please take a look!  We should try to make this a club resource and it should reflect your needs and desires.  My time can be limited at times, if this becomes a big hit and requires much maintenance, we my have to add another person or two with HTML savvy to assist.

 

I will continue to email newsletters to all that can receive that way.  Most members seemed to feel that it worked well. Send me you address at gregf@proinnovation.com
