Hello everyone,

Congratulations on a most successful retreat.  Again, please accept my heartfelt thanks for your participation.  It really was incredible.  Now the fun part starts (addressing those issues that we discussed). 

Attached are the notes and I hope that you will review them and we welcome more comments at the next meeting.  However, please remember that the General Membership meeting is more for dissemination of information and not a round table problem solving session.  I encourage each of you to contact one of our Board members to discuss any issues in greater detail (that’s why you elected us) but positive criticism is always welcome at any of our meetings.

You are all incredible.  Thank you for your support and dedication to helping all our friends with HIV/AIDS.

Be well…..Ray

P.S.  Many thanks to David Stewart for helping compile a part of these notes.
