the CPAAAS Newsletter in the future.

slips on Tuesday, November 6th.
He has indicated that he will run off extra

and
assignments that need to be filled between now and December 30, 2007.

The committee will come up with
ideas in the many areas; here are a few of the areas:
A. Membership

Events
I want to thank the people who
signed up for the committee, for taken the time and caring about the
association.
We have a new newsletter editor

The newsletter will be posted on
the website when it is finished.
