* Although this is short notice, you may have more time for your report and will definitely help the Alliance do its job better if you will bring or send a written summary of as many as possible answers to the following questions.

Although many of you provided answers to most of these questions, earlier by email or to Virginia Brown, we don't have it all and we know things change. This is a new opportunity to get all the correct information in one place and share efficiently with others.

Also, the meeting room has space to display or stack items that you bring to show or distribute to others. Plan on about 30 people for distributions.
