I think your ideas are good to improve attendance.  Certainly weather is the
main consideration in making the Moses Lake meetings.  Through rain and snow
and the gloom of night . . . . .  Sure don't plan to miss any if at all
possible.

> 1.  Instead of having 4 meetings in Olympia, Mt Vernon, Spokane, and

> Vernon, Moses Lake. 
> 2.  Allow for the option of people who would like to conference call into

> 3.  Start the meetings a little later (10am) to allow for drive times for 
> those further away and end no later then 3:30 so everyone can get home 
> earlier.
