New Promotions and Application Groups

Hello everyone. Wednesdays meeting was a fun filled affair. Sarah looked like she kept above par notes so if she has time to write them down electronically then we will forward them.

At the end of the meeting we decided to break into two meeting groups. One will be promotions. This is essential stuff and Sarah and the rest look keen and hungry. The second will be the society and industry canada meeting group. We have heaps to discuss in both and it is exciting we are growing fast enough we need two seperate groups. Rob and I will be organizing the Application side and Sarah will be the main organizer for the Promotions group.

Just to let those who care know my blog is now http://ciro-radio-crtc.blogspot.com/. It has a backlog of info on the application process so far and will be an info board for those wanting to track the application process.

Please pass this to anyone I might have missed. Coolio, Cam
