Unfinished Business:

Random Stuff:  I just wanted to remind everyone (including myself) that if you have not turned in your membership application, safety test and check…well…please do so.  Also, if you do not have internet access, please feel free to request a physical printout of the safety test and membership application and I shall mail one to you.  Not the check though, I am afraid you have to supply that yourself.
