I would suggest that if any of you want to do this, you should contact
your Regional V.P. of GMCMI and give them your views on it so that
they will have your input for the GMCMI board meetings. If you don't
know who your Regional V.P. is then look it up in the GMCMI
newsletters or on the GMCMI web site.
