Pamela, thanks for an excellent suggestion. I don't know about an email group which would be beyond my capabilities. Steve McIree is the only one I know of on the list with that particular genius :o) But a direct mailing would be possible. Some few of you who know me personally know I am mobility limited. But if it can be done via a word processor, I'm game! So, anyone in the SW area who is interested in forming or simply belonging to a SW Chapter, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and provide your email and snail mail addresses. Also, please indicate whether you would be willing to help in the actual organizing or whether you have the time to only "join". Also, any of you who were instrumental in establishing the existing Fjord groups, I would appreciate private emails which include suggestions on how you got started, what your clubs' goals are and how you operate. Sue in Sandia, can I forward all emails to you and get your assistance? It was your idea :o) We can share some of the "slog through the process" stuff. Steve, thank you for allowing me to "blow off steam" about this issue. I appreciate your suggestions. (I also get frustrated because I can't jump up and make it happen!) I agree an evaluation may not be the appropriate place to start. However, I do believe this needs to be the ultimate goal as the folks in our region seem to be more interested in an evaluation than anything else. If the formation of a cohesive group will promote such an activity, a future evaluation may provide the necessary motivation. So, with the List's permission, I invite you to contact me privately. And with their further permission, I will report to the List any new info and further requests for participation.
