opportunities

for those members interested in pitching in and helping where theycan. Steve and I have worked with Dave in the past years and we have had a lot of fun and also developed alot of new friends in the process. For us it is an opportunity. I am sure that there will be something for allinterested parties to do, but DO NOT try to miss this meeting if you are worried about being put on thespot. Your thoughts and comments are of great value in getting this show off the ground, and Dave will notput pressure on anyone to do something that they are not comfortable with.
