<DIV><FONT size=4>Our GPSCC Bylaws provide for locals. Initially (1992)
the GPSCC had locals, but after the initial excitement of the initial petition
drive, participation shrunk so that locals could not be sustained. When I
joined the GPSCC in Fall 1994, meetings were hardly attended (3-4 people; you
know who you were). If find the suggestion to organize locals lacking a
realistic assessment of where the GPSCC is organizationally. Beyond that
(as agenda preparer for the April meeting) I find the lack of a clear and
detailed proposal an indication of our collective amateurism and a symptom of
the limitations of our all-volunteer mode of operation. Additionally, I
find the idea of "cultivating" from other organizations something that those
groups probablyu would not want doen to them and that we wouild not want done to
us. Warner</FONT></DIV>
