First, my apologies for the multiple copies of this that some of you will receive. I want to make sure *everyone* at Chebucto gets the invitation to our strategic planning session next month, on Sept. 15 and 16. Second, congratulations on Mark Rushton's excellent outline of our new interim IP registration process. If this solution is technically feasible, I think we have a good working model that will satisfy everyone. It's been a long haul, trying to resolve this. I'm impressed with the innovative ideas that have come forward in this collaborative effort, but the best part is the speed and clarity with which Mark and Andrew have put this in place. I see this as the third positive step for Chebucto in recent weeks. We can pat ourselves on our collective back for (1) Andrew and James' (on behalf of the Communications Committee) spectacularly successful webcam project and Doug's "Tall Ships" gallery, (2) Doug McCann's (in his role as Webmaster) and Johnathan Thibodeau's resolution of the "colours" issue, in place as of yesterday, and (3) this interim IPDB process which Mark and Andrew have developed. In addition, we are working with Bernie Hart on an application for grant monies that could significantly enhance our training capabilities and Information Provider relationships, if our application is successful. We are in a position of strength as we prepare to embark on our strategic planning sessions in September. In addition to our Board members, all volunteers are invited, and I strongly encourage you to attend. We need your input. The dates are Friday evening, Sept. 15 and all day Saturday, Sept. 16. I'll be sending out a more formal invitation to everyone on every committee as soon as we settle on a location. And pass the word along to former Chebucto people who might have valuable historical information to contribute. Actually, I would like to hear from everyone who plans to attend, so that I can get an idea of the numbers and how large a location we'll need, and I want to put together a list of attendees. I would appreciate an email from you if you plan to be there. Congratulations and thanks to all our hard workers at Chebucto. I hope to see everyone at the strategic planning sessions. We've got lots of great ideas around here; we just need to figure out how to implement them, for the longterm benefit of CCN. Let me know if you'll be there.
