[CBW_Exec] CCCC 2009 (Take 2)

[Kathleen Baca]

Shannon, Hannah, and all,

This may already have been addressed, but in case not:

it's Elizabeth Clark from La Guardia that we voted in at the meeting, and

for my question on the breakout groups, what it said originally now makes
sense to me, so I just didn't read it carefully enough the first time.

Thanks to all,  kb
