Hi Everyone,
A lot of great feedback on this I think it can be a very useful and
effective campaign. I know I had spoken of meeting next weekend but had a
schedule shift and was looking to *meet this Friday at 6pm (at City Place?)
to start the general discussions*, and meet again the following week. Let
me know if you can make it
Morrigan - I can't make the 4:30pm meeting tomorrow but it sounds awesome
and hopefully we can collaborate, if anyone is able to make this it would
be great to hear back and start figuring out possible steps on working
together
Kevin
