Thanks heaps for all your hard work over the years, Brianna :-) - I get the
occassional glimpse of your influence all over the place, and I think it's
fair to say that you've worked incredibly hard both behind the scenes, and
as the founding president of WMAU - it's a great shame to lose you as pre
Hi Steve,
I want to state all my support for you, your fellow committee members
and WMAU and wish you a great time.
WMAU was always a chapter with interesting ideas and projects and I wish

Hi all,
I wish to second Sarah's post above - what she has written represents the
