Hi All,

Remember the meeting Thursday 3/2/00. I hope this gets to everyone it needs
to go to. My computer crashed and I lost the names in my address book. I am
in the process of restoring it.

Remember be prepared to tell about one of the Black Sheep ancestors of your
family.

Also for those on the phone committee remember to make your calls.
