Folks, It has been a busy year and I sincerely hope I have gained your faith and trust. I would like to be re-elected as NARALO chair. I see my role principally as coordinating YOUR needs At-Large community members. I hope to enlarge our numbers, bring more NARALO members to the actual meetings, increase the power of our voice and get the results which have been promised to the community. Regardless of this, I would like to put forward a request that may seem bizarre: that no one be shy about challenging me for this post. This is how we stay honest and bring new ideas to the forum. I'm only here to make this work, so if someone else can make it work better, let it be so. -Garth ------------------------------------- Garth Bruen gbruen@knujon.com
