[Sosfbay-discuss] Counties: Letter of Intent to Host 2008 - DUE APRIL 15]

[JamBoi]

Oh Tian, I wish I'd seen this before the meeting!  At the County
Council level we'd briefly discussed it but I hadn't seen it in this
form till now.  I'm very much in favor of this.  What do others think? 
County Council Members do you endorse it???  I vote yes.

Organize, Energize, Coalize!
