We had a GREAT meeting last night.  We had good attendance and a well rounded room discussion.  I  think the parents that attended really enjoyed the meeting and got some useful information. Our next board meeting is Feb. 24, 2009.  If you want something added to the agenda please let me know.  We will be discussing board elections at that meeting.  I will be making ballots after that meeting so we can mail them out to our members.  I am hoping that you will know at that meeting whether you plan to run for election again or not.  Also we will be voting for  officers so if you want one of the following positions I will need to know that also.  Also if you know someone interested in getting on our board please have them attend the meeting in March.   The new board will take over in May. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Chairman of the Board Our walk is coming up.  One of the things we are working on is gathering brochures and information from agencies that service children with autism.  We need at least 200 brochures from each place.  If there is a place that you go to and is willing to give the brochures please let Kai know.  Her e-mail is kkotts@....  She is working on this.  Also if there is a place that you think would be good to put in our bags - send her the info. Our goody bags this year will contain information as well as prizes and treats. We have another general meeting on March 10th.  We will be talking about Adult Issues. Ken and I will be going to the Nationals meeting on March 22nd.  We will find out more information about the chapter restructure there.  We will keep you updated on that.  Ken is going to participate in the teleconference before that.  I think that is just a basic overview of what was said at the last meeting and planning details for the upcoming meeting in March. Any comments or questions - send me an e-mail. Thanks Trina
