group concurred that having a centralized meeting location would be better than
trying to schedule meetings at various locations. The tentative plan is to
hold future meetings at Ben E. Keith, located in Commerce. Although our
regularly scheduled meeting time is the 4<sup>th</sup> Tuesday, the next
meeting is set for <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>August 29th at noon, </span></b>so
mark your calendars. Bring your own lunch for this one. The subsequent
meetings are scheduled for September 26<sup>th</sup> and November 28<sup>th</sup>.
Lunch for these meetings will be addressed during the August meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Northeast Texas Chapter of the NASW on July 1, 2006. The group also discussed
the recent resignation of Joyce Foreman from Chair of the NASW Northeast Texas
Chapter, and possible replacements to serve the remaining two years of the
three year Chair term. The TAMU-C Cluster is part of the Northeast Texas
Chapter, which is located in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Tyler</st1:City></st1:place>.
The hope for the Chapter in replacing the Chair is to find someone from the
northern end of the region. The Chair position and replacement criteria will
be discussed at the next Cluster meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
